Positives From This Season
After getting back from the IL in August, Musgrove pitched like a man who may assist get the Padres to the World Collection. In his ultimate six begins of the common season, he posted a 2.82 ERA with 5 of these six outings being not less than six innings lengthy.
There’s no Padre I’d slightly have on the mound in an enormous sport than him so it was nice that he acquired the ball for Sport 2 of the Wild Card vs. Atlanta. However then that’s when issues turned for the worst.
Negatives From This Season
As Musgrove mentioned as soon as he realized he wanted Tommy John, he knew sooner or later his elbow wasn’t going to let him hold pitching however it got here on the worst time: in the midst of a postseason sport.
He had allowed only one earned run when his velocity considerably decreased on a pair pitches, prompting Kyle Higashoka to come back out to the mound. Then the coach got here out and that was it.
Days later it was introduced that he needed to get the surgical procedure. It sucked a lot seeing him nearly go to tears whereas speaking to the media October 4 at Dodger Stadium. You can inform—when you didn’t know already—how a lot he needed to assist this crew win its first World Collection title.
It’s going to be a ‘what if’ we’ll at all times speak about in San Diego sports activities historical past. What if Musgrove was wholesome to pitch Sport 4 of the NLDS? Would we be speaking a couple of crew within the NLCS?
The 31-year-old had surgical procedure in Texas not too long ago and is on the highway to restoration. He’ll probably miss all of subsequent season, which is clearly an enormous blow to the rotation. Certainly extra on that later this offseason.
Thanks Joe for actually going till your physique mentioned no. We’ll at all times love and respect you for that.
