New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole doesn’t understand why Los Angeles Dodgers free agent Joe Kelly keeps calling him out for a simple mistake.
The latest dig compared Cole to his son’s Little League team for failing to cover first base in a critical moment in Game 5.
“Knox’s 9-year-old travel team … every single one of them, kids who pitch one inning a week, bro, know how to get over [to first],” Kelly said on the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast. “They’re nine. And not one of them forgets to get over.”
