Patrick Mahomes reacted via Twitter Friday to his teammate’s brutal first pitch attempt.
Travis Kelce threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Cleveland Guardians’ home opener, which was a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end spiked his pitch (video here).
That was not Kelce’s best effort, and Mahomes couldn’t help but laugh about it. He posted a whole bunch of laughing emojis on Twitter.
Ayyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 @tkelce https://t.co/v3RENRzcex

Kelce mocked himself as well, saying he shouldn’t have eaten popcorn before throwing the pitch — a joke suggesting that Kelce had butter fingers.
Lmao aye man… shouldn’t have ate that popcorn

Congratulations are due to Kelce, who has joined the group of notable professional athletes who have botched a first pitch.
