The days grow short, when you reach September: Our pitchers in September.

Our pitchers went 16-14 with a 4.62 ERA. 

Ricky Romero: 3-1, 4.50, 30 innings, 28 hits, 12 walks, 21 k over 5 starts. It is really nice to see him finish well. 3 quality starts of the 5. 

Shaun Marcum: 2-1, 3.76, 38.1 innings, 35 hits, 8 walks, 36 K over 6 starts. Yeah he should have had one more win. A really strong finish, 5 quality starts of the 6. 

Brett Cecil: 4-0, 6.92, 26 innings, 42 hits, 9 walk, 12 k in 5 starts. How does a guy go 4-0 with a ERA of 7? It helps when your team scores you 40 runs over 5 games. He had 2 quality starts and 2 really bad starts in the month.

Marc Rzepczynski: 3-1, 3.90, 32.1, 34 hits, 16 walks, 29 k in 6 starts. He won his last 3 starts. Nice way to finish the season, every start of the month he lowered his ERA. 

Shawn Hill: 1-2, 2.61, 20.1, 24 hits, 4 walks, 14 k over 4 starts. Four pretty good starts, he didn't make it to 6 innings in any of his starts but the team was every careful with his arm. It could be interesting next spring. 

Kevin Gregg: 1-2, 4.22, 7 saves, 10.2 innings, 12 hits, 6 walks, 6 k in 13 games. He only had one blown save in the month and one other loss when he allowed an unearned run. He was better than I thought he'd be this year, but then I had very low expectations. He may have worn down a bit at the end. He gave up an earned run in just 4 of his appearances and more than one just once.

Shawn Camp: 0-1, 4.63, 1 save, 11.2, 18 hits, 1 walks, 7 k in 14 games. A ton of hits this month. He pitched a lot. He gave up an earned run in 5 of his appearances and more than 1 just once. 

Casey Janssen: 1-0, 3.52, 7.2 innings, 7 hits, 6 walks, 8 k in 8 games. I thought he could have thrown a bit more. He gave up too many home runs his year. He gave up an earned run in 2 of his appearances and more than 1 in 1 this month. 

Jason Frasor: 0-1, 2,19, 1 save, 12.1 innings, 10 hits, 3 walks, 11 k in 12 games. He gave up earned runs in 2 games, more than 1 in 1. 

Scott Downs: 0-0, 1.86, 9.2 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, 8 k in 10 games. He gave up 2 runs in one of the games. 

Brian Tallet: 01, 6.23, 13 innings, 18 hits, 5 walks, 11 k in 8 games. He gave up earned runs in 5 of the 8 games and more than one 3 times. 

David Purcey: 1-0, 6.48, 8.1 innings, 9 hits, 5 walks, 10 k in 9 games. Gave up earned runs in 3 games, more than 1 run twice. 

Brad Mills: 0-0, 6.43, 7 innings, 6 hits, 4 walks, 5 k in 4 games. 

Josh Roenicke: 0-0, 7.11, 6.1, 7 hits, 2 walks, 6 k in 7 games. He gave up earned runs in 3 of the games, more than 1 run in one of them.
