Padres News: Joe Musgrove Believes Friars are Cursed this Season

Musgove summed all his feelings on the season up with one word.

It has been an extremely weird season for the San Diego Padres. They entered the year with heavy expectations of being contenders, but things haven’t gone their way.

The team has been scratching and clawing their way back toward contention all year long, and they are still searching for answers. The team has seen major struggles on the offensive side of the ball, causing problems up and down the lineup.

But now San Diego has been dealing with injuries starting to pile up in their starting rotation. The team is already without starter Joe Musgrove, and Yu Darvish just landed on the injured list Monday.

Musgrove summed up his thoughts on the season in a very simple way.

“It feels like we’re doomed,” Musgrove, who also missed time at the beginning of the season with a fractured left big toe, said Monday afternoon. “From the get-go, we just haven’t had any breaks go our way. And down the stretch, when you feel like this is your last-ditch effort to really make a push and get back in it, to be shot down with ‘Croney’ going out and then find out ‘Darv’ is going out.”

The Friars are looking for any way to figure things out with a little more than a month left in the season. It hasn’t been easy going through their struggles, and things look bleak for them right now.

But the team isn’t giving up and as long as they are mathematically alive, they have a belief that they can turn it around. This faith has allowed them to hang around, even when things get dark.

San Diego is a team of veterans, who are all trying to reach the common goal that they set out to accomplish. But the clock is ticking, and the Friars don’t have any more time to waste this season.
