Pirates pitcher destroys rosin bag, rosin bag headed to DL

by nick pants

Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates played the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night. Sadly, the Pirates pitcher didn’t get off to the best start as the rosin bag exploded on him. The rosin bag is reportedly headed to the disabled list.

Apparently the Pirates hate rosin bags.
