Don’t let the final score fool you....this one was terrible pretty much from the get-go, as we begin to really feel the consequences of depending on the likes of young’uns like Ryne Nelson (now on the IL) and Brandon Pfaadt (our “ace” for most of the year, but the biggest disappointment tonight) to carry us through the first five months of the season. I suppose we’ve already been feeling those consequences as the calendar has turned over to September and the Snakes have been turning back into pumpkins, but, well, this was a bad one.
Brandon Pfaadt has not been good in his September starts for us, giving up three runs in less than six innings to Los Angeles on September 1 and then allowing four runs to Houston in 42⁄3 innings on September 6.
