Diamondbacks Bullpen

Snakes need to start winning before the Dodgers run away with the Division...

Yikes... So Dbacks "need" to start winning... and Hank begins the game thread.

From the DBacks website:

Claudio Vargas, RHP (9-8, 5.30)
Jeff Francis, LHP (9-9, 3.44)

Scouting Report:

Vargas earned the win in his last start on Aug. 6 against the Astros as he gave up a pair of earned runs on six hits over six innings. Vargas was able to keep the ball down, which is the key to his success.

Francis held the Dodgers to one earned run in 7 1/3 innings on Wednesday night, and he has a 1.82 ERA since July 1. Francis was especially tough with traffic, catching a runner trying to steal home and wiggling out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam with just one run scoring on a sac fly. The four walks were deceiving -- three were intentional. Francis is 5-4 with a 3.02 ERA this season at Coors Field.

We can't lose to a guy named Francis.

What a great day to start both Quentin and Hairston. BoMel, can you hear me? No Green or Gonzo today.

Who wants to bet that all our lefties (Gonzo, Green, Tracy) are all in the lineup together tonight...as Q and Hairston sit on the bench going "Why did he swing at THAT?"

Someone pointed out that Gonzo has not sit since his hissy fit. He could use some 'rest'

Which Hissy Fit? There are so many they all start to blend together.

Great, King Midas starts the gameday thread. I don't even have to watch the game now. Smile

It's a new board, maybe it will be a rebirth for Hank.

Prior to this season, Jeff Francis has been a D Back killer

Between 2003-2005 he had 7 starts against the snakes and went 5-0 with a 3.63, including 2-0 with a 4.71 in 4 starts at the BOB

This year he is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA vs the D Backs in 2 starts, including a no decision on April 12th where he went 5.2 IP and gave up 3 ER

So THIS years version of the D Backs has had some success off him.

Lets hope it continues.
