Brackman struggles yet again

One year ago today on DotF, Alberto Gonzalez hit a walk-off jack in the 12th inning against Toledo.

Inexplicably, Jesus Montero was not named Eastern League Player of the Week. I guess hitting .391 with a double and four homers doesn’t compare to .379 with four doubles, one triple and one homer anymore.

Garrett Patterson was placed back on the DL. It was fun while it lasted, even if it was just one appearance.
