One day after Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle were torched for 11 runs in 4 innings, Javier Vazquez gives up 5 runs in 2 1/3 against the D-Backs. I know it's Arizona and the air is thin and it's a world where people throw ducks at balloons and nothing is as it seems and all, but is it normal for every member of your starting rotation to get absolutely torched in succession?
Meanwhile, 3 of the competitors for the much coveted 5th starter spot saw action yesterday:
- Charlie Haeger pitched a scoreless 3rd and 4th inning against the Rockies.
- Lance Broadway, who has a name that should be used by a pro wrestler with a gay tap dancer gimmick, walked 3 in 2 1/3 innings and gave up a solo home run.
- Gio Gonazlez pitched the 8th inning against the Diamondbacks and struck out 2 Arizona scrubs.
So at this point, I've got Haeger in the lead for that spot.
