Yeah, the hitting struggles with RISP are a concern. Are pitchers that far ahead of hitters right now, or are Padres hitters pressing? One thing that's noticeable is that at the start of the season, there was much better patience at the plate than there has been over the past few games. I always hated getting a take sign and then watching a perfectly hittable pitch go past for a strike! But we had it drilled into us that some pitchers are not consistent so make 'em prove they can throw strikes. Manny Machado had that proven to him several times last night. Ugh!
Hopefully the Bay Area climate and pitching schedule works in the Padres favor this weekend. We'll probably see more close games.
