NLCS Game #1: Francis vs Webb

Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on in Rockpile Comment 387 comments

Heading into playoff series, everybody likes to figure out who they think will when certain match-ups, who has the advantage over who at certain positions and starter slots, and of course ultimately who wins the series. I'm the same as everybody else in this, but I also like contemplating the alternatives, the but-what-ifs. Sometimes its easy, as in, sure Jake Peavy is a better pitcher than Josh Fogg, but what if the Rockies beat him? Answer: the Rockies go to the playoffs.

I would argue that the but-what-ifs in this series definitely give the Rockies an advantage as they seem to have more fall back positions. Not that he's expected to win, but if Francis loses tonight, we have another shot at a weak starter tomorrow. If U-ball loses then as well, it gets trickier, but we're going home for three with a chance to turn it around and it's still a tenable position. I don't think Arizona has that same luxury. If Brandon Webb loses tonight, the Diamondbacks are in serious trouble for the rest of the series. They'll have to try and scramble from an inferior position to salvage the split tomorrow and then hope they can pick one off of us in Denver. Sure they picked up one win in Chicago, but this isn't the Cubs lineup they are facing anymore, if our guys smell blood in the water, they've learned to go after it.

Put simply, I just don't think the pressure's on the Rockies this game. I don't know if that means we get the win either, Webb's a big game pitcher and he's handled situations like this before. But if Francis comes through like he did against Philly and if we do take a W out of tonight, Arizona will be pressing for the rest of the series, and it could wind up being another very short one.

Oops, before I forget, I did promise Jay at Esquire that I would get over their talking about how bad Matt Holliday is (psych, they say "overrated" I can interpret that how I want) and give his NLCS Preview a shout-out. After the piling on he took from D-back fans, he's wise to not take sides this time and writes a fairly balanced piece. His partner on the other hand...

Go Rockies!

2007 NL West Predictions: 1. Padres, 2. Dodgers, 3. DBacks, 4. Giants, 5. Rockies

Haven't seen it
but for the Rockies, I can pretty much guarantee this:

Taveras, CF
Matsui, 2B
Holliday, LF
Helton, 1B
Atkins, 3B
Hawpe, RF
Tulowitzki, SS
Torrealba, C
Francis, P

Not as familiar with the Dbacks' preferred order, but I'll hazard a guess:

Young, CF
Drew, SS
Byrnes, LF
Jackson, 1B
Reynolds, 3B
Upton, RF
Ojeda, 2B
Snyder, C
Webb, P

... but don't hold me to that for the Snakes.

I hate pre-game festivities, sometimes. I think it should just be the national anthem and that's it. Maybe if they didn't have so many, Arizona would have a sell-out tonight.

Doubtful.
Apparently you didn't see the video from one of the Phoenix news stations that asked a bunch of people if they could name any Diamondbacks players.  I think the only one anyone came up with was Randy Johnson... and maybe there was a Brandon Webb in there, too.

I think I like this decision to move him back
He's been letting the rave press get to his head or something, as his AB's haven't shown a lot of discipline lately. Luckily at times his tools are good enough to mask that, but other times he just looks like a rookie.

I really like Tulo in the 7 spot
his slump notwithstanding.  It makes our lineup so deep, there isn't a break except for the pitcher.  I also think Hawpe will see more balls to hit.

by Roberbola on Oct 11, 2007 7:36 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Slump?
In his last 5 games he's hitting .286, with 2 doubles, a triple, a home run, and 5 RBIs.  As for his discipline, his first RBI in the playoffs was a walk with the bases loaded.

Great inning
Manufacturing the run (Kaz advancing twice without a ball being put into play by a hitter) was very big and then Hawpe's 2 RBI hit was the cherry on top.

Seriously, that was kind of fun
except for the Taveras AB. I think Arizona's four deep bullpen was an exaggeration.

Cruz and Pena
are the weak links. Lyon's their version of Fuentes, and Valverde wobbles all over the place but doesn't break THAT often.

Really,
Like Jeff gives a hoot that he's BA's number one prospect, Upton hasn't done anything to earn that kind of chip on his shoulder. I hope somebody in that AZ dugout puts him in his place, or they're going to have a problem child on their hands.

Can't believe they called that
They never call that.  But in that case, it was blatant, so the ump couldn't miss it.

This is the kind of inning that can be a major turning point for both teams. Get out of it and we squash them emphatically, don't get out of it and.... er, we'll get to that.
