After retiring the first two Astros to open Wednesday's affair, right-handed starter John Van Benschoten allowed a three-run homerun to Geoff Blum giving Houston an early 3-0 lead. JvB is just not good. He is a strong Triple-A ace candidate, but the former first round pick will never, ever ever, never ever ever EVER do anything great in the Majors. He's gone on in this first inning to allow runners to reach first and third.
If the Bucs go on to lose, don't be shocked when Mr. Johnny is subsequently designated for assignment. Van Benschoten has just allowed another run! That makes it four in the first frame! Sheesh, this is ridiculous.
More to come tonight on this so-called start
