Jose Ramirez, no matter what bat he's swinging, is a 'force' for the Cleveland Indians

MINNEAPOLIS - Guitar players aren't married to one guitar. Painters use different brushes; carpenters different hammers and dentists different drills.

So why shouldn't baseball players use different sized bats?

Jose Ramirez asked himself that question Tuesday night at Target Field after hitting a fly ball to the warning track in right field in the first inning. Minnesota's Max Kepler dropped the ball for a two-base error to help fuel a three-run rally in the Tribe's 11-4 win.

After the inning, Ramirez told his double-play partner, Francisco Lindor, that it was the bat's fault for him not hitting a home run.
