“I just, I just made a mistake,” were the first words an already red-eyed and tearful Kelenic gave to the media Thursday. Kelenic was placed on the injured list with a broken foot after kicking a water cooler Wednesday night.
, who represented the tying run for the Seattle Mariners in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday night, was eight pitches in to an at-bat against Jhoan Duran, one of the top relievers in the game, who was touching 103 and 104 mph with his fastball.
What happened after was not seen by those watching on TV or listening on the radio. Frustrated that he was not able to come through in a big situation, Kelenic kicked a Gatorade cooler on the dugout floor. X-rays would later determine that the result of the kick was a broken a bone in his left foot. While surgery is not required, no timetable for his return was given.
“To me, that was one of the best at-bats I’ve seen all season. And he ended up striking out on a curveball on the outside corner, and I can completely understand the emotion of that moment for him putting together such a great at-bat, deserving a better fate and not getting it. And then just being frustrated with that, and then taking that energy into the dugout. And we’ve all been there as players, we’ve all been there as competitors.
