Washburn has struggled in the first inning of his last couple of starts, but he's been bailed out by his defense. Jeter and Ichiro, respectively have both been thrown out at the plate in those starts. Well, you can't get bailed out by the defense when you let them hit it where the defense can't catch it.
Bad Washburn showed up in the third, giving up three straight singles, a three run triple, an RBI single, an RBI double, then I threw up and stopped caring. Scioscia, didn't however, and yanked J-Dub. Let's be charitable and say this wasn't exactly a quality start.
Understatement of the year by Rex Hudler after Kevin Gregg came in and walked four batters (walking in two runs in the process): "This in not what Mike Scioscia and Bud Black had in mind bringing Kevin Gregg in here." Thanks for the insight, Rex.
8-0 after two and a half innings. I may call it a day on this one.
