KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected during Monday night’s game at Kansas City after Twins pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson was called for a pitch clock violation.
There were two outs in the sixth inning when Woods Richardson tapped his ear, seemingly indicating he couldn’t hear his PitchCom. Umpire Nic Lentz then called a violation that resulted in a walk to Jonathan India.
Baldelli came out of the dugout and argued with Lentz for a bit before he was ejected.
Often, when reporters conduct interviews of coaches during games, the coaches don’t say much. There’s a reason they call it “coach-speak.” But Houston Cougars head coach Kelvin Sampson delivered anything but “coach-speak” when CBS interviewed him during the National Championship against the Florida Gators.
With just over 10 minutes remaining in the first half and the Cougars leading 14-10, CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson asked Sampson why his team was struggling from the 3-point line (they hadn’t made a 3 to that point).
Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran said his on-field struggles during the 2021 and 2022 seasons fueled his mental health struggles to the point that he attempted suicide.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau may not be with us anymore, but his family legacy is continuing on in full force.
Last August, Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were riding their bikes in New Jersey, when they were struck by a drunk driver and killed. Of course, the NHL world was rocked by the tragedy, but other sports leagues paid homage to the American-born star as well.
During all the emotional turmoil that unfolded in the days and weeks following the incident, one of the saddest developments came from Johnny’s widow, Meredith.
