Francoeur, Hampton Enjoy San Francisco Treat

Atlanta 11, San Francisco 5. It was a beautiful night for baseball at the Ted last night, something you don’t expect this time of year. I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about the weather or the 2008 Braves. It looked like we hanging this one up before it started with Bobby sitting the entire Kot* crew today. But Matt Palmer of the Giants was quite happy to let anyone hit and to walk anyone who didn’t want to swing. Some quick hits:

  • Yes, Francoeur has 7 hits in his last 14 ABs over the last three games (including another far 0-fer on Friday), but only two of those are for extra bases, so it’s a step in the right direction but it doesn’t mean Francoeur’s back.
  • Mike Hampton, however, continues to have a huge season at the plate. His RBI on Saturday put him at 4 in 9 ABs. That’s one more than the catcher formerly known as Corky Miller had all season.
