[Brock Beauchamp]

Point: The Phils are on a four-game losing streak.

Counterpoint: Bowden Francis is on the mound.

[BatFlip]

Bowden Francis revenge tour continues tonight!

Let's go Jays

[Terminator]

Fully expecting Bowden Francis to give up 4 home runs tonight against this lineup.

But if he can limit all of them to solo shots, the Jays will take this game.

[jaysblue]

Hopefully Harper misses this series as well.

[gruber9292]

How much longer do we have to endure with Francis? 

Get his ass on the next bus to Buffalo

Francis lost it

He never had it

will this inning ever end

[BB17]

The jays really need 2 SP badly. Francis has been awful all year. 

[gruber9292]

Francis has zero movement on his fastball. Not a MLB caliber pitcher. 

[neverbeenhere]

most fans just finding their seats and wondering "is the game supposed to start at 4:0"?

[gruber9292]

It sucks when the game is over in the first inning. 

[glory]

Francis is not a big league starter with the amount of taters he gives up. Very frustrating to watch him start. Unfortunately the Jays aren't facing the A's rotation, so this might be a tough hill to climb. 

[hanton]

stop with these 94 at the top of the zone

[Jays24]

Aaaaannnddd we're back :(

[neverbeenhere]

Urena is much better than him

[Masterbather]

So this is going well....

[BB17]

Francis should go into construction. He’s already got a cement mixer in the form of his off speed pitches.

It’s going to be tough for the Jays to be more than a .500 team with how bad the rotation is.

[HomeRunHomer]

Based on the last 4 games the Jays have played I believe they can still score enough runs to win this game.

[jaysthebest]

You can literally put any AAA starter, and they would be better than Francis.

This is not an AAA team A's. We cannot score.

that was not real jays

[hanton]

Francis got the same call so....

[gruber9292]

What's the point in continuing with Francis? Yesavage right now is a much better option in getting through an opposing line up twice.
