Despite the vomit-inducing performance of the offense against the Nats the last few games, yesterday's performance by Pelf needs to be highlighted.
Taking the long view, when you see a young pitcher starting to turn the corner and mature, you have to view that as big positive.
I read an article a few starts back where Pelf said he was abandoning his 2 seam "bowling ball" fastball and going for a 4 seamer. Less movement. More control. He said he was tired of falling behind hitters. Apparently, it was a good idea. He's had a couple of strong outings in a row. While I didn't see yesterday's, sounds like it was borderline-dominant.
