October 6, 20214 yr How could this happen? I heard the Yankees were 9-3 against the Red Sox if you only go back in time an arbitrary amount of games!!

I started with the statcast broadcast and wondered for a minute why people were griping about A-Rod and Vasgersian. But this one had Eduardo Perez who is just hard to listen to. He doesn’t say dumb stuff as much as A-Rod, but his voice is terrible.

October 6, 20214 yr My favorite part was A-rod admitting Varitek still wants nothing to do with him. I have the picture up on my Sox wall and was wearing my Tek jersey. A-rod is hated in the booth, Tek is advising a team going into the AL Playoffs.

October 6, 20214 yr Here we go I just had to keep digging to find angry Turturro. I guess it's fitting a former Astro caused this meltdown hahah #priceless Edited October 6, 20214 yr by Pimphand
October 6, 20214 yr Either he or the Yankees messed with his delivery as soon as he signed with them. I think it's a big reason he's never been as good for them as he was with Astros.

October 6, 20214 yr That doesn't explain last year though. Look at clips of him from when he was an Astro and now. His delivery isn't the same. Edited October 6, 20214 yr by kevwun
October 6, 20214 yr My theory is that he started using it more and more which had an effect on his mechanics.
October 6, 20214 yr My theory is that they thought they could improve on what was close to perfection and ended up fucking it up. Not that he sucks now, but he's not the guy they gave 324 million to. Edited October 6, 20214 yr by kevwun
October 6, 20214 yr Haha fuck the Yankees. ETA: Fuck Gerrit Cole, too. Edited October 6, 20214 yr by wood

Yeah it's a stretch since he only had like 60 at bats as an Astro before they traded him to Detroit and he's definitely wearing a Padre cap in the Hall of Mediocre but we did draft him #1 overall. Sure would have been nice had he signed with the Dodgers and not gone to be the Cal State Fullerton punter and kicker. Who knows the Titans might still play football.

Not that he sucks now, but he's not the guy they gave 324 million to. Cole is still a top 5 pitcher. For now. But his trajectory is going the wrong way. He might miss Strom. His catchers certainly aren’t as good. I think the crackdown on the sticky stuff has had the biggest effect. His numbers took a significant hit since enforcement began.
October 6, 20214 yr When he was at his best, he was throwing his fastball for strikes around the knees. That 98 or 99 mph fastball at the knees combined with his curve thrown in the bottom half of the zone made him pretty much unhittable. He got in trouble last night with pitches way up in the zone. Sanchez definitely doesn't help. No one wants to bounce a curve in the dirt with runners on when their catcher sucks at catching. Edited October 6, 20214 yr by kevwun

So his control has gotten worse? Is it just a coincidence that that happened after the league started cracking down on sticky stuff that helps with control or not?

Is it just a coincidence that that happened after the league started cracking down on sticky stuff that helps with control or not? Jesus it’s not that complicated. Cole hasn’t been the same since the hammy injury. There’s something about the way he throws his curveball that seems to hurt his hamstring. He’s been shy to throw it ever since the injury. He was still electric after the spider tack crackdown (member the CG shutout vs Houston? I member). It’s the hamstring.

They are 43-58 in the last 20 years in the playoffs when they aren’t playing the damn Minnesota Twins. The only gap he’ll see is on his resume in a few days. Fuck him.
October 6, 20214 yr Yeah jomboy roasted him on talkin yanks for the “closing the gap” comment this morning. Boone is an out of touch idiot.

I keep seeing that stat but you should go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt that this millennia they have compiled the following postseason records Angels 7-8 A's 4-2 Astros 5-9 Diamondbacks 3-4 Indians 6-5 Mariners 4-1 Marlins 2-4 Orioles 3-2 Phillies 4-2 Rangers 2-4 Rays 2-3 Red Sox 8-11 Tigers 3-10 Twins 16-2 Totals: 69-67 The best part is the Astros dominance of the Yankees is exceeded by the Tigers, Marlins, & Rangers lol.

October 6, 20214 yr On a positive note, Cole now has more far time to spend all of that extra money he's getting from the yankees since their season is over early for the second year in a row.

October 6, 20214 yr How many playoff games have the Astros played in this millennia The Astros have won 34 playoff games since 2015 when they were in the wild card play in game. You remember that one, right?
