In the game against the Phillies, Bowden Francis's performance with his fastball became a focal point, as data suggested he fares significantly better when throwing above 94 mph. Despite the evidence, the team struggles with limited options, forcing them to continue using him as a starter. There’s also a mention of an umpire’s performance reflecting typical trends where the trailing team seemingly benefits from more favorable calls. The ongoing assessment of players and strategies highlights the complexities of team decisions.
Our trouble is that we have no other options but to keep sending him out there.
Maybe just move him back to the bullpen and let him max out his heater?
As usual, the trailing team got the better of the calls.
Surprisingly, Bowden Francis is better when his fastball is faster.
