Happy Belated Rockies Preview

Despite another brilliant performance by Derek Lowe (8 IP, 3 H), the Braves were dominated Monday night by Jason Marquis, who now sports a 2.79 ERA and .226 BAA away from Coors Field. SHould the words "Jason Marquis" and "dominated" appear in the same sentence? Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Atlanta Braves. On with the preview!
A Rockies team that has struggled thus far comes to Turner Field as the Braves continue their homestand. If the Braves want to compete in the division, they need to win these kinds of series. Tuesday night's game features a matchup between the Jair Jurjenns, debatably the Braves's best starter (no small feat on this team), and Jason Hammel, whose WHIP and performance versus righties leaves something to be desired. Let's see if the some of the slumping Braves can turn it around. Will Bobby play the righty Infante over the 1-for-his-last-million Kelly?
