The Toronto Blue Jays are set to take on the Philadelphia Phillies at 4:05 PM this afternoon and have decided to shockingly have Bowden Francis on the mound to start the game.
The Blue Jays biggest problem so far this season by a long shot has been Bowden Francis who cannot seem to find his game as he currently has a brutal 6.12 ERA this season.

The Blue Jays are currently one of the best teams in baseball and have actually not lost a game since May 25th that did not have Francis on the mound which shows just how bad he has been lately.

Fans knew that Francis would not be the same pitcher he was last season but they did not expect things to be this bad as last year after 13 starts his ERA was at 2.92 which it is not at 6.12.
Bowden Francis in 13 starts
2024: 2.92 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, .568 Opponents OPS
2025: 6.12 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, .922 Opponents OPS

Hopefully he will finally be able to get a win today but it certainly does not look promising.
