The Padres have played 41 games, putting them 25% of the way into the Major League Baseball season. OK, 25.3%, but it’s as close as my remedial math skills can get. That is not an insignificant milestone for a big league ballclub so it’s a nice time to do a little dive into how things are going. The first 41…
It's not a surprise that Manny Machado is playing at a Hall of Fame Level. It is a bit of a surprise that he's doing it this early in the season and without a certain All-Star shortstop in the lineup with him. Vegas has Manny as the runaway favorite for NL MVP.

Bob Melvin has won the Manager of the Year award before. Three times, actually. What he's done with this roster has been nothing short of phenomenal. Yu Darvish has been fabulous.

Hosmer was tearing the cover off the ball for a while. Now he's back to being himself. In 72 April at-bats he had a 1.054 OPS. In 72 May at-bats he has a ,608 OPS and is in a 3-for-30 slump with no extra-base hits. He's not as good as April. Let's just hope he's not as bad as May.Designated hitter Luke Voit was brought in to provide thump. The 2020 Major League HR leader has hit two bombs.
