As expected, manager downplays his return to team after missing first six games on road trip following May 11 prostate surgery
“It’s a different presence,” Luke Voit said Friday. “He’s always so calm.”
The Padres went 4-2 on this trip without Melvin, who remained in virtually constant contact with Christenson. They won two of the three games he missed at Petco Park while dealing with symptoms that led to the need for surgery.Ryno did a tremendous job for us,” Manny Machado said. “He did a great job. But having Bob back with us is huge. We definitely missed him.”The Padres might have done so well without Melvin, at least in part, because of what he has instilled in them just a couple of months.
“It’s not 26, it’s not 28,” Melvin told the media around that time, which according to players was similar to his message to them. “A lot of times, it’s 40 or 50 over the course of the season. So we’re talking about one guy. Obviously, he’s extremely important, but that should motivate us to hold down the fort until he gets back. And that’s the way we’re going to approach it.”
From the start, whether talking to players or the media, Melvin has exuded a completely unfettered aura. He knows what he and his team need to accomplish, and there is no unexpected occurrence that should change that. Melvin carries himself with an air that is a little bit CEO, a little bit wise grandfather, a part professor, a portion sherpa.
