Game #128: Francis vs. Billingsley

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 20, 2008 8:10 PM MDT


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!

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.

by David OhNo on Aug 20, 2008 8:12 PM MDT up reply actions  

Never in '04, some in '05,

but he did it for most of April and May ’06.

I dunno.....

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…

True.

He’s not gonna be another 32 HR 27 SB guy like he was last year, though.

It's not as glaring an error as our leadoff decisions

but Atkins hitting in front of Stewart and Iannetta is another miscue in our lineup decisions. Holliday-Hawpe-Stewart-Iannetta-Atkins is how the middle really should go, if performance is to be the measuring stick.

should be hitting either 2nd or 3rd in front of Holliday

he’s hitting .350/.416/.440 since the All Star Break, has better baserunning skills than Hawpe, and keeps Hawpe’s power bat in the middle of the order.
