Gerrit Cole, the Yankee's ACE, showed his yellow stripes today.
" There is no crying in baseball" but, apparently, there is cowardice. This is the first I have ever seen of it.
Cole, who is regularly raked by Raphael Dever's of the Red Sox, gave him an intentional base on balls, in a close game, with no one on base and no outs. What's to lose?
Cole's growing awareness that the crowd was horrified, rather than impressed, caused him to walk the next batter, and then the floodgates opened.
When Cole slithered off the mound it was 7-1 Boston, and the stage was set for a loss tomorrow as well.
I think the entire Yankee team was horrified. How much respect just washed down the sewer?
The event whitewashed away the stupidity of Jazz getting picked off for the third straight game. Jazz was stupid, not cowardly.
It left the stadium empty of energy and hope. No one bought a beer the rest of the game.
Our star pitcher was afraid to pitch to Devers. He is now a 6-5 on the season.
To me, he is lost forever.
This was carnival stuff.

we could still score seven runs in the bottom of the ninth - look at who's coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
YES inserting an episode of "Bronx Buds" between last out and postgame show. Smart move. Need time to get story straight, and fewer people will tune in to hear whatever bullshit they spew.
looking forward to Boone's BS - maybe he'll bang and smack the table a bit
Yankee Inc is yrying to decide whether to lie for their "ace" (it was Boone's decision). Or let him dangle in the wind.
My advice, for what it's worth...tell the truth. We all know anyway.
Select moments from the Aaron Boone post game (de)presser:
Manager Boone:
"Uh, yeah, uhm, you know, uh, it as something going in and, uh, you know working on preparations, uh, you know, this week with Gerrit that we were going to be , uh, you know, a little more aggressive in some situations - uhm, so I talked about it with no one on there (clears throat of some seed mulch) uhm, and then as simple as that uhm, we didn't get the ress, the rest of the outs there. Uhm, once we scored the run, my preference Ould have been, let's attack them, uhm....but obviously I, I didn't communicate that well enough and I think that Gerrit was a little indecisive out there and uh rolled with it and in the end we just didn't didn't get enough outs from there."
Meredith:
"So it was Gerrit's call and not your call, or your call ultimately to do it?"
Manager Boone:
"No....so this is (chuckles) again, something that we talked about in the days leading up just being a little bit more aggressive, uh, uhm, you know, in, in some non traditional, you know, scenarios where you're going to intentionally put somebody on (nods a few times) uhm, so, an, and I think Gerrit felt convicted in that moment - like ha-yeah, let me, you know, let's go with this. But once, once we scored the run, uhm, I should have been uhm, more (nodding) demanding at like, no let's get after them right now."
Meredith:
"So essentially the two of you had a concept of a plan?"
Manager Boone:
"Uh, uhm, you know, uhm, its uh, you know, uh, uhmI, you know, uhm, uh - yeyeah"
Fucking ding dong.
sanity has been removed by Yankees management...
It's really hard to imagine something worse than this. Even the worse loss of the season is not as worse as this. Why bother.
