Geritt Cole was on the mound against his former team. He pitched a 3 hit, striking out 12 batters, while throwing 129 pitches (the most of any ML pitcher this year) and shut out the Strohs 1-0! Meanwhile Aaron Judge accounted for the only run of the game by hitting a HR. As Judge was rounding 3rd base, he is closing his jersey. And naturally, there was a chorus of boos..... Well I saw where Boone was going to take Cole out in the 9th but Cole was yelling at him so he stayed in Edited July 11, 2021 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a lot of mock drafts that had Colson going to the White Sox. That is two picks away so we might see his name selected soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say as I blame him though as the relief pitching has been downright awful for the Yankees In todays game against the Strohs, the Yanks were cruising along with a 7-2 lead and Chad Green lost the game 8-7 with a walk-off 3 run HR by the midget! This has happened waaay too many times this season. Hell they gave up 9 runs in a game to lose earlier this season. Damn it!!

He isn't qualified to talk about the sport. I will also add that a "language barrier" is nothing new to MLB. Foreign born players have been around for quite a considerable time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relievers are imploding. I mean they went in to the 9th with a 5 run lead, and end up losing the game, no thanks to the effin' midget...... 🤬 BTW, I saw a stat the other day showing the won-loss record of MLB teams with a lead in the 9th inning. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like over 350 wins against 2 losses. Guess what team has the 2 losses???? 🥵 Edited July 13, 2021 by Proud2BAHoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was with teams with at least a 4 run lead but I might be off. My oldest son is beside himself over his beloved Yankees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
