No, I disagree again. Aaron Harang has stuggled, there's no secret about that. But both he and Bronson had gone 8 innings twice before this season. Our other 3 starters are young kids for most of the season. With all the concern about pitchcounts...I certainly wouldn't expect (or want) Dusty to let them go for a complete game this season. So when you're talking about only having 2 of your 5 starters even really eligible for a CG....it's not THAT surprising that it took this long. How many other teams out there have 2-3 rookie starters?
