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

I understand your confusion but the Philadelphia Athletics no longer exist.

There's the Athletics, who suck, and then Philadelphia, who doesn't.

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

Isn't Yesavage playing high A ball?

A's had lost the last 12 of 14 games before they faced us. They are not an MLB team. Please don't compare A's to the actual MLB team, the Phillies.

I know, just saying 

[gruber9292]

This start for Francis quickly turned into a garbage time inning eater.

Man, Francis sucks donkey balls. 

Whoah s*** 

Game over before itr started 

[neverbeenhere]

wow, Francis got one out, that's wonderful

[Masterbather]

Eat it Schwarber. Francis won't let YOU beat him!

[jaysthebest]

Bowden Francis' struggle makes me think of how bad the A's are. The A's offense couldn't score a run against this scrub lol.

[hanton]

100% on Clement and where is Francis?

[neverbeenhere]

have to agree, rest is just garbage time for the entire game

It hit the runner. Just unfortunate.

hit the runner buddy

Didn't the Blue Jays come back from a 7-0 deficit in the Kingdome when Dave Winfield hit the go ahead Grand slam off Schooler in the ninth to win 8-7?

Is there one other person on this board that remembers that? 

I'm just saying it CAN happen.

I have been a jay fan since 1995, but don't know that one

[neverbeenhere]

JS was upset as he didn't even give a pad to Francis

Ouch, you became a fan barely after the glory days. Probably the worst time to become a fan considering the drought that would ensue. 

Congratulations for hanging in there.

[BB17]

Bo’s arm really is weak. That play would be a double play by at least 75% of SS in MLB.

[Doubleplay21]

I think Francis gets one more start before he is DFA'd.

yes sir, I came to study at western in 1995 and became a jays fan. Ya, I missed the glory days, it's been frustrating

With Turnbull close and Laurer and Lucas around, you may very well be right. Maybe it happens after this game even but they probably give him one more.

[John_Havok]

Just tuned in.

in a game like this you just leave him alone - he knows he sucked

He still has one option year left... no need to pull the plug completely.... yet.

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

Yeah Francis is awful, and they have no 5th SP. Not sure how this fix this barring a lot of luck.

The guy throwing right now might be the next guy to slot in at #5

But, realistically, acquiring a #4 or #5 barely moves the needle... they need a top end guy that can exceed Gausman's level to push everyone else down, just like they needed in the offseason. Not even sure there's anyone out there that's on the block that even fits that bill tbh. 

[gruber9292]

Robertson continues to make noise in Buffalo with 3 HR's so far tonight for 10 on the year and an OPS close to 1.000

[hanton]

Very nice job by Lauer

[hanton]

literally picking pitchers off the scrap heap......what happened to Amir Garrett?
