He didn't use the verb "hit" or any other verb after it, so it's me.

When there's no verb following it, the word like acts as a preposition, which must always be followed by an object pronoun (me, him, her, them, us):

When you hit like Francis and me.

When there is a verb following it, the word like acts as a conjunction connecting two independent clauses, and it must be followed by a subject pronoun (I, he, she, they, we):

When you hit like Francis and I hit.

When you hit like Francis and I do.

I'll PM you my PayPal address.

Those are perfect examples.

I made the same mistake as @MMAPlaywright in not accounting for there being no verb- and of course that's where you hit the nail on the head. It's good to see someone is keeping everyone on their toes.

This is harsh. But it’s fair.

Not a very good example but what you said is correct. “Like” acts as a preposition when there is no verb following it. When there is s verb following it, it is merely a conjunction and appropriate action must be taken.
