The audition for the last two spots in the bullpen is looking a lot like "musical chairs," except when the music stops, all the relievers have to suck.
At least in this game the competition is heated. As far as actually making the 25-man roster is concerned, I'd call it "tepid" at best. Check these lines out:
J. Bajenaru: 1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, BB, balk
C. Malone: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 3 BB
P. Reynoso: 1 IP, 0 H, 2 BB
A. Montero: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB
A. Almanza: 1/3 IP, 4 H, 4 ER
T. Redding: 2/3 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 HR
S. Randolph: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB
S. Tracey: 1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER
C. Haeger: 1 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 1 BB
Only Arnie Munoz -- the guy Ozzie Guillen said didn't have enough heart to stick in the majors -- went three-up, three-down out of this group. Chad Bentz and Rusty Tucker pitched scoreless runnings while only allowing one baserunner. All the others got into a jam of some sort.
Sure, it's only the first full day, but a world where I'd miss Luis Vizcaino is a world I don't want to live in.
