When life hits you with food poisoning, make sure you take a bite of round two. That is exactly what Cody Bellinger of the New York Yankees did this week. Despite an unfortunate encounter with chicken wings that left him suffering from food poisoning, Bellinger made sure he didn’t let a little thing get in the way of his food adventure! Confused?

Seems like Cody Bellinger wasn’t ready to call it quits yet!

After being scratched from the Yankees’ Tuesday game against the Detroit Tigers, Bellinger took to his Instagram story. And guess what? He gave the Yankees fans a peek at his recovery process, this time with yet another batch of wings. Bellinger’s caption? ROUND 2!! Yes, you read that right, the same wings that knocked him out with food poisoning, couldn’t stop his wing obsession.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone, commenting on Bellinger’s absence from the game, casually said, “I think he had some wings, maybe.” While Boone didn’t seem overly concerned about Bellinger’s health, brushing it off as just another minor health issue. Little did he know, that Bellinger was already back to prove his dedication to the dish!

This tweet from Talkin’ Basebell, a parody account known for its witty takes on the game, made the moment even more hilarious. The account didn’t hold back from turning this bizarre moment into meme-worthy content!

In the end, while Cody Bellinger might have been sidelined for a game, one thing is for sure: he love for wings in unwavering! And he shows no signs of backing down from it. But the real question is – will Bellinger turn out triumphant in the second bout or will the wings win again?

Stay tuned for the next episode of “The Wing Saga”!

The Yankees shut down by Skubal amid Carrasco’s struggles

On Tuesday in Detroit, the New York Yankees were handed their first shutout loss of the season as the Tigers extended their winning streak to five games with a 5-0 victory.  The chilly weather wasn’t the only thing that the Yankees had to deal with – the reigning AL Cy Young winner was all locked in!

Tarik Skubal, Detroit Tigers’ ace, was simply untouchable. Throwing six shutout innings, and keeping the Yankees off balance with a mix of pitches in Skubal fashion. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was full of praise for Skubal’s performance, saying, “He kept us off-balance, he hit his spots, and that’s what you’ve got to do, especially when you’re facing guys like Judge and Goldschmidt.”

Tarik did just that, throwing his pitches with perfect precision and making the Yankees swing in confusion. A classic masterclass of pitching, which left even Aaron Boone frustrated. “It’s imperative that he really commands all of it. He’s got to have that elite command. He doesn’t have a lot of margin for error,” Boone expressed.

However, on the flip side, Carlos Carrasco struggled. His lack of command allowed the Tigers to pounce upon the Yankees. Carrasco was feasted upon by the Tigers with three solo home runs in a span of just 11 pitches.

Now as the Yankees move on from this loss, they must regroup quickly. This loss did snap a promising streak, but with a challenging road ahead, they need to move and find their groove.
