Game #5: Francis vs Webb

Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on in Game Thread Comment 635 comments

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies


Nothing like getting a fluffball pitcher like Brandon Webb to break us out of our slump. Please, oh please, hit against him like you did most of last season, guys.

This sure is up early

I thought it was a night game.

Night game

It is.

Made me do a double take as well.

Peavy vs Penny on Fox right now though.

I get Chicago (A) versus Detroit

It was up early because I was having issues

trying to figure out how I messed up setting it for automatic posting, and I just wanted to make absolutely certain it would be up before game time. Luckily, it was, but as you point out, quite a bit earlier than normal.

Peavy

with a CG two-hitter.

Meanwhile, it's horrible but watching the Detroit game is oddly comforting. Incredible line-up, but nothing but fail so far for the team as a whole.

Ugh

I'm always glad to see the Dodgers lose, but I think I'd rather see Peavy get knocked around.

Holliday

Hit 6 balls into the upper deck in BP. He's a righty. Think about that.

If Webb's dumb enough to hit him with a pitch, he might hit a ball to Kansas.

Every day is a Holliday!

Oh Webb

The first time Holliday is up there, please bean him. Make it sting.

No K

but another 1-2-3.

I know this version of the Rockies. This is the depressing version. Make them go away.

Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?

Think happy thoughts...

Like Eric Byrnes face down in the dirt with Helton's arms raised in glory!!

But it was still an out.

They decided to fulfill their 2-hit allotment tonight just to get us all excited.

That young man

That's what?

Seven hits already for the Snakes?

In play, run(s)

This either means we're screwed, or we score next inning...

ARGH

Wow.

Jeff Kingery has just pointed out that we have had the lead for a total of two innings so far this season.

Though that's probably still more than we trailed between September 15 and the end of the NLCS.

Is it just me or does his fastball seem a little slow tonight?

Slower than normal for Francis, you mean?

He's not exactly Evel Knievel.

It's showing about 86 on CBS Sportsline..

And he's throwing a lot of changeups. Usually he can hit 90-91.

I love it when..

The last pitch is a ball and the pitch location is inside the strikezone.
