Just as Braves were announcing that Kawakami has a contusion to the right base of his neck, Francoeur goes deeeep.
No X-Rays on Kawakami, he’s day-to-day.

UNREAL. Well, there’s your right handed power, lol.
Now that was a hanger that had “put my a$$ in the cheap seats” written ALL OVER it. That is what I was talking about when I said that Francoeur needs to DRIVE hangers. Chamberlain hung that mofo and Francoeur FINALLY made the pitcher pay for it.
Before you guys start saying “He’s coming around”…………….lets see Francoeur hit 2 or 3 more homers in the next week. That was Francoeur’s first homer since the Chicago game 3 weeks ago when he hit one off of Kevin Gregg.
Damn, Nate just missed one.

A-Rod’s average is down to .204 after that out
Johnson’s avg is down to .220 after that out, and that’s a more heavily weighted .220 than A-Rod’s .204.

About Frenchy…I am not trying to suggest he is back or anything. But I really think that his glove is more valuable than the other players the Braves have to replace him right now. I think the trade off by putting Diaz in there defensively offsets any improved offensive numbers he may put up, and I think it’s debateable that he is an upgrade offensively after watching him last year when he did start every day. If Frenchy could only just get on base more frequently, I think he would be fine. The power can come from other spots in the lineup, too. It’s not just him that is underproducing from a power standpoint.
the hope of the braves nation rests in your hands mr hanson

Pennski………..Just like I dont get too “down” when Chipper goes 0-20 (after all, we know that when Chipper busts out of he………he will hit more than 2 homers a month)……….I dont get too excited when Francoeur hits a homer. I remember when the WHOLE board lit up 3 weeks ago when Francoeur hit that homer against the Cubs. Many of you were proclaiming the slump over it.
Well, three weeks later, Francoeur finally hits another one, and many of you are saying “wow, maybe this will propel him and jump start him. After all, he’s been hitting the ball hard, lol”.
Let’s see some CONSISTENCY. Let’s see a hot streak (you know, where a hitter has a 10 game stretch where he hits 3 or 4 homers, 3 or 4 doubles, and 12 RBIs, while batting .400). I want to see a high average AND power. When Francoeur had his recent 7 for 18 stretch….he only had 1 double. That isnt going to cut it.
Point is, I need to see far more than 1 homer every 3 weeks.
