Y. — It's not where Brendon Little wants to be. The Toronto Blue Jays ' AL champion relief pitcher had to wait to begin his outing on Friday night because a large choir of elementary school students was taking the field to sing God Bless America during the "seventh-inning stretch" that was really happening in the fifth inning because these were seven-inning games in a Triple-A doubleheader.
But as Little waited to complete his jog in from the bullpen, he appeared to crack a smile. What else can he do at this point? His MLB season started miserably, a 24.
55 ERA staring back at him from the scoreboard as he was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo. And so on Friday, he found himself in Rochester, not all that far from Toronto geographically but what had to feel a world away as far as baseball is concerned.
