“Every game counts at this point,” Machado said. “We have the ability to compete at a high level, and we just need to focus on winning each game.”
The Padres have had their ups and downs this season, but Machado believes that the key lies in consistent performance. The team has shown flashes of brilliance, and he emphasizes the importance of maintaining that momentum.
With the Dodgers leading the division, the pressure is on for San Diego. However, Machado is urging his teammates to embrace the challenge and channel their energy into each upcoming game.
“We’re not backing down,” he stated. “We know what we’re capable of, and we’re pushing each other to be better every day.”
As the Padres gear up for the final weeks of the season, Machado’s optimistic outlook could be the driving force they need to make a serious bid for the NL West title.
