Game #128: Francis vs. Billingsley
Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers
The man from Defiance, OH has been none too good against the Rockies in his six appearances (four starts). In 23 2/3 IP, he owns a 6.46 ERA, and has allowed 17 runs on 31 hits and 17 walks. He's also allowed four home runs.
Our guy from Vancouver, British Columbia has gone 5-2 in his 12 games against the Dodgers and sports a 2.69 ERA in 77 IP. In the NL West, he's done his best against the Dodgers.
Go Rockies!

CDI's x-rays
were negative, meaning he should be back in a day or two.

We have the right guys hot right now
if you have to pick three guys to be on top of their game, the three best power hitters would be a good place to look. If Holliday, Hawpe and Stewart can continue to provide the pop, we may just produce enough to delight more Snake fans.

I like Q, but...
He has to rank in the top 10 “worst hitters used in leadoff” this season. Great utility player/team guy, poor table setter.

This comes from the same manager that hit Cory Sullivan leadoff for how long in 04 & 05?

Never in '04, some in '05,
but he did it for most of April and May ’06.

Chris Young, with his .300 OBP, wasn’t a very good call….

Young has 17
He’d be third on our Rockies this year. We aren’t the most powerful bunch, hence our ten games below .500 record. Steals, he’d be third again…

His CS rate is better than Neta's
but that may be do to guys like Ardoin running on him, as you tend to catch guys like that more often than not. Iannetta’s numbers aren’t great, but few run on him.
