The Royals recalled Kris Bubic to start today’s ballgame and optioned Ronald Bolanos to Triple-A, per the Athletic’s Alex Lewis (via Twitter).
Bubic, 24, got off to a disastrous start this season with a 12.83 ERA over five starts and one relief appearance totaling 13 1/3 innings. He fared little better over three starts in Triple-A, surrendering 10 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings. His peripheral numbers did improve, however, with a 4-to-17 walk-to-strikeout ratio after posting a 11-to-10 such mark in the bigs.
Bolanos, 25, has made eight appearances out of the bullpen this year while serving as a bulk reliever. He has a 4.42 ERA/5.71 FIP over 18 1/3 innings of work with 12 strikeouts and 12 walks in that time. Bolanos has primarily served as a starter while in the minors.

You misspelled “designated Carlos Santana for assignment.”

And relieved Mike Matheny of his managerial duties.

Maybe the letters for Pasquantinos jersey are still on back order…that’s why he’s still in Omaha. Shortages being shortaging.

Maybe if Kris has a good MLB career, they’ll name a game after him and call it Bubic’s Cube….

It looks like a rectangle and the center block has a baseball

Actually, it’s shaped like a diamond

I’m tired of all this up and down with the pitchers. The season is over for the Royals, let Bubic, Singer, Hernandez, etc pitch every five days in the bigs and see what you have. Dump Santana and O’Hearn, call up Pratto and Pasquantino.
