Blue Jays (Francis) vs Phillies (Sanchez): 6/14/25, 4:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Uh oh, it's Francis's turn in the rotation.

[Masterbather]

This seems like the most predictable outcome of the season.

Draftkings has the Phillies at -162 on the moneyline. That seems like they're giving the Jays a lot more credit than we are. 

Other games today have odds way more tilted against other teams.

Letting Francis continue to start is a joke at this point. There’s gotta be a better option. Can’t keep throwing away games at this point in the season, it will come back to bite us.

[G-Snarls]

Pitching matchup STRONGLY favours the Phillies 

So I naturally predict a Jays win 5-3

It’s become a difficult situation, the current results are unacceptable but something seems off, he’s better than his recent results and lacks overall experience. Although if the goal is postseason and beyond then we need the ‘get it done’ team not the ‘try hard team’

I was a believer a couple of games ago, we were making the post season, but how are we suppose to do that with that line up?

Yeah that’s ugly after Springer. Ernie hitting 5th aint ideal.

Will Robertson getting called up before we have a bunch of lefties is kinda funny

Have to think they are debating bumping him for Scherzer next start, assuming Max feels good after his 65 pitch game in Buffalo yesterday

D’ya know, I was giving Clement a pass in that line up (6-9 doesn’t look great) but Ernie (don’t get me wrong, I like him) has no place hitting 5th on any good team

Good point, I get he seems like the hot hand but a bullpen arm that we could option back a few games later would have made more sense if we’d stopped to think for just a second.

First batter Francis faces hits a 102 mph flyout that traveled 393 feet. 

Going to be a fun game. 

[Doubleplay21]

Francis has 19 home runs given up so he walks anybody its a bad sign

It’s going to be a rollercoaster for sure.

[Jaysman]

Love Heineman’s attitude, he’s doing every little thing he can to influence the pitching he can, willing Francis to find his groove.

[neverbeenhere]

bring the runner in and score first, we will win

[Jaysman]

Scheinder hitting 6th is just gross

[neverbeenhere]

ya....

Like I said, always had faith in Clement 🙄

[G-Snarls]

Francis fooling a lot of guys 

[G-Snarls]

3 scoreless 

I'll take it 

[HomeRunHomer]

Just as everyone predicted Francis hasn't given up a run through 3.

[G-Snarls]

Clement 2/2

[G-Snarls]

Dammit 

[Masterbather]

I just tuned into the game before he walked the first batter and I was like "hey it looks like it's actually going well"...f*** me it went downhill rapidly.

[CJ-Freeway]

Welp...
