Not looking good for a split today

[AZCB34]

7-3 Marlins, top 8th.

Dbacks have been hitting the ball hard but right at people.

Looking ahead: Fossum, Daigle and Sparks all start in the 3 game series against SF.

I still can't figure out Brenly's logic (or lack thereof)? It's an 8-3 to ballgame and he still insist on using Koplove when he knows that the BP will highly depended on over the next 3 days...... Now, 12-3 and Koplove with a history of a strained arm is still out there? Someone please try to explain why.....

11-3 bottom of 8 - Koppy has walked one with the bases loaded & given up a bases loaded triple to Pierre...

 

[AZCB34]

13-3 Marlins...still bottom 8th. Marlins fans got their free dozen donuts today as FLA just got hit #12.

I should get a free dozen for subjecting myself to this crap.

Maybe the Dbacks will demote the entire bullpen and bring up the entire Tucson bullpen for this series to save arms??????????????

I know it is only end of May but this team is cooked. If it weren't for the overall horsecrap NL Worst they would be dead in the water.

I left work early to watch THIS???

Go back and explain the crap you just subjected yourself to. Maybe they will give you the vacation time back and take you out for drinks after work

And that wraps it up. 13-5 Marlins win. Fossum up tomorrow against Schmidt who is on a extra days rest.

All in all, 3-4 on this roadtrip but I think the Dbacks are flopping out of the frying pan and into the fire the next 3 games.

It's about time that Koplove is placed on the DL since it seems apparent that he indeed has an injury, but doesnt want to disclose anything to Brenly.....They must promote Scott Service or Raggio who both could salvage some of these younger arms...

Trust me, I'll hear all about it when I go in for my 3rd Shift tonight!!

Weak starting pitching (RJ excluded), sore & tired bullpen....at what point does the pitching coach take some of the blame for this disaster??

Kniffin seems to the be Teflon Pitching Don. I rarely hear criticisms of him.

Let's see:

Dbacks have given up the most walks in the league with 190
Dbacks have the 2nd worst ERA in the league 5.15 (Colorado is worse)
Dbacks have given up the 2nd highest number of ER 229 (Colorado 266)

But none of that is Don Chuck's fault I am sure. It all falls on Brenly.
