Padres Reacts Survey: Do you want San Diego to finish above .500?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in San Diego Padres fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The goal for any team is to win games so this week’s survey question might seem dumb but it’s a valid question based on what has happened this season.

A winning record doesn’t get the Padres into the postseason. It also doesn’t properly represent how bad of a season it has been for this franchise. The Padres haven’t been above .500 since mid-May and are winless in extra innings with a terrible 7-23 record in one-run games.

When we look back two decades from now on the 2023 season, I don’t want people to see a winning record and think ‘hey that was a pretty nice year’.

Because it wasn’t. It was a failure.

Results to the survey will be posted when they’re available!
