Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon has struggled since being activated from the 60-day IL, and those labors continued on Wednesday during a loss against the Angels.
Rodon surrendered six runs across 4.1 innings, and while exiting the mound at one point during the game, the lefthander could be seen blowing a kiss to some fans who were apparently heckling him from the stands.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Rodon addressed the incident and explained his perspective on what went down.
“Yeah I blew a kiss. I guess it was the best reaction I could give.
After coming close in 2023’s first three majors, can Scottie Scheffler win in Hoylake? He’ll be among the early starters Thursday along with defending champion Cam Smith.
Makhachev beat the former champ for the vacant belt last October.
The Yankees were swept by the Angels on Wednesday for the first time since 2009. It’s safe to say morale in the dugout isn’t high for New York, evidenced by reliever Tommy Kahnle’s meltdown following his outing in Los Angeles.
Kahnle needed 29 pitches to get out of the eighth inning, surrendering one run in the process, and when he got back to the dugout, he was incensed.
In need of something to release his frustration, Kahnle hurled his glove at the cooling fan located in the corner of the dugout before proceeding to stomp on it with his cleats.
It’s a “foregone conclusion” that Rob Manfred will be elected to a third term as Major League Baseball’s commissioner.
The Jets are trading wide receiver Denzel Mims to the Lions, according to multiple reports.
New York will receive a conditional sixth-round pick in exchange for Mims and a 2025 seventh-round pick, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Reports emerged earlier Wednesday indicating the Jets planned to waive Mims unless they were able to find a trade partner for the former second-round pick.
Mims has featured in 30 games for the Jets since the team selected him with the No. 59 pick in the 2020 NFL draft. He has 42 career receptions without a touchdown.
Phillies star Bryce Harper had MLB fans perplexed on Wednesday after his at-bat during the bottom of the sixth inning vs. the Brewers.
Harper displayed a confusing lack of effort during his at-bat against Milwaukee reliever Hoby Milner, as he struck out looking without ever even appearing as if he was going to swing.
The six-pitch at-bat saw Harper stand almost completely still as the lefthander served him a mixture of sinkers, curveballs, and four-seam fastballs.
Most fans who send team owners letters will not expect to receive any sort of formal response.
However, one Giants season-ticket holder, who recently sent a letter to team co-owner John Mara voicing his displeasure with night games, found a sympathizing voice.
The fan sent the correspondence to the two-time Super Bowl champion owner lamenting about the tema’s schedule of playing three primetime home games in 2023.
Upon receiving the letter, Mara responded with his own letter, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
With the Rockies sporting a 37-59 record and sitting 18 1/2 games behind the first-place Dodgersin the NL West, Colorado fans have the right to act a little strange.
However, a message displayed on the Coors Field scoreboard Wednesday hinted at an entirely new level of wacky brewing in the Centennial State.
“Whoever runs the scoreboard at Coors Field is NOT OKAY,” DNVR writer Suzie Hunter tweeted during the Rockies’ 4-1 loss to the Astros.
