If you lose a game, in which you don’t actually have a starting pitcher, does it even count? Seems legit to me. For the Diamondbacks played this one without Patrick Corbin, opting to keep him away from another NL West team. Instead, they rolled out a rolling buffet of names, needing nine men to get throw eight innings of work, and for the most part they represented a veritable “Who’s he?” of pitchers. No disrespect intended to the men involved, but it seems a bit odd to see the likes of Marlon Arias, Brooks Hall and Eric Jokisch in action, considering there are just nine days left until Opening Day.
