The rain got the best of Carson McCusker on Monday night.
McCusker stepped up to the plate in the second inning of the Minnesota Twins’ matchup with the Cleveland Guardians on Monday as decent rain was falling at Target Field in Minneapolis. But when the right fielder went to swing at a pitch, well, McCusker completely lost control of the bat.

It wasn’t just a little bit, either. McCusker sent his bat absolutely flying. The bat made it all the way into left field, where it calmly came to rest as everyone slowly realized what had happened. As Guardians players went to retrieve it, McCusker and the home plate umpire just stood there laughing.
Whoops.
To make the situation even better, McCusker had just been called up to the Twins from their Triple-A affiliate on Saturday. Monday was just his second game in the big leagues. But, to McCusker’s credit, that very likely would’ve been a single had he actually made contact with the ball instead of trying to cut corners with his bat.

Eventually, McCusker struck out looking. The game was tied 1-1 at the time, but WHO Castro hit an RBI double later in the inning to put the Twins up by a run. By the end of the third inning, however, officials decided they had had enough and sent the game into a rain delay.
The Twins entered Monday’s contest with a 26-21 record. They have won 13 of their last 14, too, though their impressive win streak came to an end on Sunday when the Milwaukee Brewers beat them 5-2. The Guardians, on the other hand, came into Monday’s game on a four-game losing skid.
While McCusker will get the hang of things with his new club, Monday’s bat incident was an incredible way for him to kick off his time with the Twins.

Dodgers’ pitching continues to crater in latest loss: ‘Battling with what we got’
LOS ANGELES — Andrew Friedman didn’t sugarcoat it. There was hardly much of a way to. The Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations was succinct in summing up the state of the club’s pitching, which has once again been whittled by injuries.“Not fun,” Friedman said.The Dodgers’ two star free-agent starter signings — Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki — are hurt. So is Tyler Glasnow, one of last year’s big prizes. Each of the Dodgers’ top four right-handed relief leverage options — Blake Treinen, Evan Phillips, Michael Kopech and now Kirby Yates — are also among the 14 pitchers who reside on the injured list. Not fun, indeed. Even a club seemingly teeming with pitching depth on paper to start the season is feeling the effects.AdvertisementThe ensuing domino effect has led to ugly results. No team in baseball has asked […]

Aus in Saudi-Arabien? – Wildes Transfer-Gerücht um Ronaldo
Macht Ronaldo jetzt die Düse?
