Blue Jays (Francis) vs Twins (Ryan): 6/8/25, 2:10pm

[Terminator]

Kirk bailed him out what a play

 

[Spanky__99]

Great play boys. How do you get picked off there? lol

[BatFlip]

That's what great defense can do.  What a play Captain Kirk!

ok guess not

I went back to the play, I said it above, I must be blind then, lol

[Terminator]

Vlad’s defense has undergone a remarkable turnaround this year, he’s got positive OAA on the year

[G-Snarls]

Ryan 70 pitches already 

[Omar]

It's almost like Atkins knew what he was doing by extending Kirk.

He's much better, havok and hanton were talking about it in yesterdays GDT.

[G-Snarls]

Team defense is amazing 

[BatFlip]

They better have Francis on an ultra short leash this inning.

Best in the league and it isn't close, our offense is top 5 in fWAR, our rotation is 26th though. We need to seek a stud SP at the deadline, imo. 

[neverbeenhere]

he gives back right away

[Omar]

Get him out of there.  He is so hittable

[G-Snarls]

Aw s*** 

[John_Havok]

Cant defend HRs...

[Spanky__99]

To the Moon, Alice... To the Moon!

Bring the pen in and demote Francis after the game to get a fresh arm tomorrow. That's all you can do at this point. Keeping him in is just asking to lose this game. 

[jaysthebest]

DFA Francis...

[Terminator]

Great job by Bowden to limit that home run to just a solo shot

Yeah Bowden is broken

I’d rather have Turnbull out there throwing 90 or Easton Lucas even at this point 

[Omar]

Just f*** off Bowden Francis

[BatFlip]

He really should have been pulled already.  I know it's hard on the bullpen but you had to make a change early in this inning.

Damn, another one, almost worked.

[Terminator]

Another solid job of limiting the 2nd of the 4 home runs to just a solo shot 

[neverbeenhere]

poor guy is finished

[jaysthebest]

Francis should've been DFA'd after last start.

He'll be optioned tonight.

[Omar]

It could be 10 to 3 if not for the great D!

[Spanky__99]

Holy crap, Barger??? 👀

[glory]

Turnbull throwing 86 mph is better than Francis. Make the switch.
