So it looks as though we have found the "adjustments" Gerrit Cole made:
http://www.espn.com/blog/buster-olney/post/_/id/18431/olney-has-baseballs-pine-tar-problem-gotten-worse
But no need to worry! We just acquired Cole—for just cash!
A.J. Cole, that is, the Nationals' starter-reliever. He of the 13.06 ERA this year, with an NL-leading 6 homers in just 10.1 innings. Over parts of four seasons, he is 5-8, with a 5.32 ERA.
The YES guys were saying the team was looking for a sixth starter over the course of this 18-game, no-day-off streak.
Not a bad idea...but just how awful can Chance Adams be, if this is the guy they prefer?
Meanwhile, David Hale gives us two clean innings in today's romp, and is immediately DFA'ed.
Oh, well, can't complain too much tonight. But—time to roll Sonny Gray in pine tar before we send him out there again. Roll him up in #!@* flypaper, if you have to.
We would be better off signing Cole Porter.
