Dayton vs Bowling Green; PPD
Dayton and Bowling Green will play a double-header on Monday. Dayton and Bowling Green will attempt to play on Monday.
I got an announcement that yesterday’s Dragons rain out will be made up at part of a day/night DH on 5/22. The makeup game will be played at noon.
My mistake. I saw the 2:00 start time for Sunday, and the 7:00 start time for Monday on the scheduel and assumed it was a DH for Monday.
Juan Francisco is batting .145/.167/.290 with 22 strikeouts in 69 at-bats at AAA…Wow! And the powers that be had THIS guy break camp and head north with the big club…Why? I know, I know – he had a good Spring, but still.
Fisher and Masset keep pitching the way they have been, Ondrusek may be back up soon.
What is going on in Louisville? Someone explain to me how this team can be losing so much.
