Game #116: Francis vs Bergmann
Washington Nationals @ Colorado Rockies
I'm not exactly sure why the Nationals feel better off with a Francis/Bergmann, Perez/Jimenez card today than the way things were originally scheduled, but that's the way it appears. At any rate, the Rockies need to start showing they're up to a chase in earnest, and a home doubleheader sweep would be a strong play in that regard.
Go Rockies!

No TV is bugging me
The 1p.m. game wasn’t scheduled for TV in the first place, but you would think FSN could pick up the second game for TV. What if that second game of the Dodger DH on Sept. 18 last year hadn’t been televised? Fans at home watching live would have missed one of the great moments in Rockies history—the Helton 2-out, 2-strike walkoff homer for victory.

Awesome lucksackery
Just got handed two free tickets in section 137, and about to play hooky from work. And wearing a CR purple golf shirt, to boot. Have fun on the Purple Row, and let’s take two.

Stewart at 3rd
even though it’s because of “playing the numbers”, it’s good to see. Let’s hope he gets to start tonight as well. His D behind U-Ball will help a lot.

Everyone figured him out
Slow fastball, slow curveball.
You can sit on the curve and still react to the fastball. With littl movement on the pitch it is very hittable.

Very true
plus, many of the breaking balls just drop right into the wheelhouse of righties if Francis isn’t hitting his spots, and he hasn’t been hitting his spots at all this year.
Also, as today demonstrates, when he’s working away from righties and getting strike calls, he can get people to chase. But once the umps take away that outside strike, he has to pitch into the zone, where the lack of speed and sharp movement are devastating.

I think the truth is
he wasn’t as great as last year, and he’s not as bad as this year. He’s probably a true #3 starter in the NL (probably #4 for the AL at best) that has been unrealistically pitched as a #1 guy.
The fact is, soft tossing lefties absolutely MUST have pinpoint control, and Francis has lost that this year.

Exactly
I have no problem with a guy wanting to play…in fact, obviously, I want that attitude. But when you are not producing, and the guy replacing you IS producing, that is the time to be quiet and try to make the most of the opportunities you do get. And as you note, he’s getting a lot more of a chance here than he’d get anywhere else (and certainly, the Rockies gave him his first real chance to be a starter). So the upshot is…play better, and then force the team to play you more based on merit. But Hurdle has never been too concerned about merit…

there WILL be repercussions from that inning
Hurdle: Huh, the Kipper just threw a scoreless inning, Bob…pencil him in as our #3 starter, bump U-Ball tonight and throw in the Kipper

This is mostly not his fault
before the last two starts he had the worst run support of any starter since 1931.

Hey....
...give our boys a break. It’s not like they’re facing the worst team in the league and a pitcher who’s 1-8 or anything.

To be fair...
The guy may have a bad record, but his ERA wasn’t horrendous. He probably pitched decently in at least some of those losses.

Well....
if you’re serious about making a pennant run, getting utterly shut down by a guy about whom the best you can say is that his ERA “isn’t horrendous” is still a pretty sad thing.

I'm not disagreeing
I’m just saying, it’s not as if this is a guy who’s not capable of ever pitching well.

Exactly, see my comment above about Bergmann's run support
He’s been pitching very well for most of the season, it’s just that his team had been scoring less than two runs a game for him before popping out sixteen these last two outings.

Actually, Torrealba doing well might be a good thing for the Rockies
Because of his contract and generally poor stats heading into August, he’s likely to have cleared waivers meaning he’d probably be one of the few players available to teams this month. Him hitting well just in time for the stretch drive plus his intangible playoff experience from last season could mean he becomes more tradeable now than he was in July. Looking at the Phillies and Marlins in particular, it seems to make sense for one of them to try and get him.

Getting a split at home with the worst team in baseball, with our 3 "best" pitchers starting is completely unacceptable.
And that’s IF we win this game.
