Bowden Francis To IL, Brendon Little Called Up

There was a bit of news while I was busy playing poor tennis:

Bowden Francis has been put on the IL with forearm extensor tendinitis. I’m sure someone else can explain that one. Brendon Little has been called up from Buffalo. But he pitched a fair bit this spring, 8 appearances, 8 innings, 6 hits, 6 earned, 5 walks with 10 strikeouts. And 2 hit batters. In Buffalo, he’s pitched in 9 games, 9.1 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned (2.89 ERA),...

It is raining in KC, so the game might not start on time. If it is rained out, the teams each have an off-day next Thursday.

A win today would give us a split of the series, which would be nice.

Jays Lose to Royals

Blue Jays 2 Royals 3

Our team keeps games so close so that if they aren’t perfect defensively, we lose.

We should have scored more than two runs.

But then we only had 6 hits and 3 walks.

George Springer had 2 of the hits, a double, and a solo homer in the fifth that got us our first run.

Our other run came in the sixth. Daulton Varsho started it off with a single, Danny Jansen walked. A wild pitch moved them to second and third. And an Ernie Clement...

Set Number: X164021 TK1

We have the debut of Addison Barger, which made Minor Leaguer very happy to get to do a pun in the post title.

Kevin James Kiermaier goes on the IL with inability to make contact with a baseball left hip flexor inflammation.

I hope Addison convinces the team to keep him in the lineup. Of course, I’d love to see Orelvis Martinez, too, but a step at a time.

Addison Barger was informed he’d been called up to the Blue Jays around 11:30pm Tuesday; rushed to...
