The Padres re set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in one of the most exciting series in the post season currently but unfortunately Musgrove will not be able to help his team win.
After the news broke, Musgrove spoke of how devastated he is that he will not get to play but understands it is part of the game.
«I'm devastated about not being able to finish what we started,» an emotional Musgrove said in the Padres dugout. «It's just a matter of coming to grips with that this is it for me.»
«If you're not a pitcher, it's very difficult to explain. I just had a hard time getting to full extension and letting pitches go,» Musgrove said Wednesday. «There wasn't a whole lot of confidence behind it. I had two outs in the inning. I was hoping to be able to get through the inning and then address it in between, but I didn't make it to that point.»
