Padres third baseman says he is 'embarrassed' by performance this season, professes faith the Padres can still be what they expected to be
“We need a little more urgency as a team,” he said. “We just do.”
Thursday’s series finale here is the Padres’ 81st game, the exact midpoint of a season that Machado acknowledged Wednesday has gone well off the tracks and is in danger of becoming a runaway train.and those of his teammates will reflect their usual excellence by the end of the season, that the team with four superstars and a bunch of other accomplished and well-compensated players have time to be what was expected and make the postseason.
“Things are getting a little bit out of hand,” Machado said. “We’ve got three months to prove people wrong. So the only thing that can change that is the urgency and the want. That’s what we’ve got to do from now on. We’ve got to want it more than everyone else.” Machado was asked Wednesday if he is embarrassed by the Padres’ performance to date, a season of inconsistency that has them six games under .500 and eight games out of the National League’s final playoff spot.
They seemed to begin with a strong plan, with six of their first nine batters working full counts and making Pirates starter Mitch Keller throw 57 pitches in the first two innings.
