Game two against the Phillies. I hope this game isn’t over before we get the first out today.
Surprisingly, Bowden Francis is better when his fastball is faster. Our trouble is that we have no other options but to keep sending him out there.
Also, my numbers are much better when my fastball is over 94 mph too…..
Bowden Francis, 4-Seam Fastball, 2025
<= 93 MPH (387 pitches): .280 xBA; .507 xSLG; 6 HR
>= 94 MPH (63 pitches): .232 xBA; .359 xSLG; 1 HRMaybe just move him back to the bullpen and let him max out his heater? It’s not like the rest of his repertoire screams “starter”.
