This is on Boone. If he had control of the team, Cole would not be making decisions like this on his own. If they game-planned it, and Cole misunderstood the situation, that’s on the manager. Communication is the responsibility of the manager. Period. End of story.
cole becomes unraveled too easily. If he gets annoyed by something or if something doesn't go according to plan, he forgets how to pitch, and then gets owned.

The game was tied in the 9th inning with a go ahead runner on 3B with 1 out. Walking Ohtani made sense, they set up a chance for a DB. But Cole was in the 4th inning leading 1-0 , when they walked Devers. It doesn't make sense.

It was a weak move you just cant defend it. To see a Cy Young award pitcher one of the best in baseball run from a challenge like that was bad. I like Cole he is our ace but I just cant defend that move it was weak smh
Other than fodder for opposing players to tease/taunt Cole about, I don’t see how this is something that’s really going to linger with Cole long. Especially after he strikes them out a few times. Was it bad? Yes. But I think much more’s been made out of it than it really is.
@@espo221bthis is one game of 162 and one of the teams isn’t even gonna make the playoffs. No one will talk about this after the playoffs start, it’s meaningless.
@@espo221b Judge gets walked intentionally almost every game even if it doesn’t count as an IBB. Devers is a good hitter and good hitters get IBB all the time. I don’t agree the decision it was stupid baseball but why don’t all these p-word pitchers not named Gerrit Cole go after Judge? Just asking for a friend. I can name a plethora of games where walking judge didn’t work and we creamed the other team, don’t remember the Yankees screaming insults from the dugout but then again we aren’t a classless .500 team.
@blackeastertheguy cole is not just "some pitcher." He is one of the best pitchers in the league. He is the Yankees ace. I do not remember any "ace" wanting to intentionally walk anyone. I do not remember any pitcher wanting to intentionally walk someone with one out and no one on base. It just shows Cole has no guts. That will be his reputation from now on unless he does something to change it.
To me, the worst aspect of the Cole IBB was that Devers has been awful lately...injured, tired, in a slump, a mix of everything. He's likely to get him out no matter what because that's how baseball works, even if you hit .400 off a guy, obviously. We all know Devers owns him. But to not know how he has been playing, and in a no-hit game, are you kidding me!? I still can't comprehend it.
Kay talks about Cole like he's Warren Spahn or Bob Gibson great. Cole is and has always been soft. This free pass wet his pants moment just proves it. !
What kind of competitiveness was that? Devers "owns" Cole? First of all, I thought only the manger can call an intentional walk, Secondly, if Devers has an (approximately) .357 batting average against Cole that means he still gets Devers out over 60% of the time, in addition to the 15 strikeouts. I like Cole, but he deserved the razzing from the Red Sox and if this haunts him for the rest of his career, well, that's baseball, Suzyn.
so yes as much as any hitter has ever “owned” a pitcher Devers Owns Cole he’s his actual father Cole is obviously terrified to pitch to him Cole is a great pitcher but he is the child of Devers.
@@billyburden8097 Man, you have no idea that 60% means more than half and 15 is more than 8. Instead you bury yourself in minutea and can't see the forest through the trees
If Cole continues to pitch poorly to the Red Sox it would be like Yankee fans chanting "who's your daddy" to Pedro Martinez. In Boston they'd be chanting the "P" word (female anatomy) to Cole.
Michael nailed it at 14:15. For as great of a pitcher and a gamer as Cole is, he is sometimes his own worst enemy in his mind. I say this affectionately, the guy is absolutely neurotic about his game and his routine, to a fault.
Lmao, they’re not lying. He is a coward. He is Gerrit Cole, one of the best pitchers in the MLB. You don’t do that in that situation…coward…and I’m a Yankees fan
Im ok with Cole walking Devers, Devers has ate Coles linch for a while now. Didnt understand why he walked him at that moment, but if the situation warranted it to win the game, for sure.
@@shernigz yeah he's the kind of Yankee "fan" who watches one game a year. That he attends. Then boos Cole because he didn't do good in that one game he watched.
300 mil+ and doing that. He won’t be able to pitch in Boston again. That’s not done by an Ace or so called Ace of staff Cy Young. The Dumbest move by manger/ player done by a professional baseball player.
Yankees are and always will be very professional organization so we don't care what other team say we focus on a ring not on what was said lol all dayyyyyyyyyy
Whatever happened to pitching around Devers? Cole is a vet but man does he lack savvy. Never seen a guy so talented being so petty. Cmon Cole show some moxy.
@@brettbono9550 like i said name all the so called aces then. One decision like that doesn't take away from The fact he's one of if not the best pitcher in baseball.
@@brettbono9550 well you just showed you don't know what you're talking about. He's actually been very good in the playoffs. He has an era under 3 For his postseason career. The 2021 wild card game vs the Red Sox was a disaster but other than that he has only done well for them in the playoffs. Pay attention better.
Gerrit cole is a punk… when a pitcher hits one of his guys, he’s the first guy on the top step yelling and cussing and pretending to be a tough guy but whenever he hits a guy it’s a “mistake” huh? Yeah, ok….. devers is the new big papi and Cole can’t get him out.
Whether it was "part of a strategy" or not it's something Cole should've never done....ever he looked like a straight chump walking devers the way he did
Gerrit Cole is mentally weak. I don't care how skilled he is, that has nothing to do with what I am saying. He is a front runner, meaning if he is not in front he cannot handle the pressure. If the Yanks are out of it he wins Cy Youngs, but when we are in the hunt he falls apart. Call it overthinking, that works. Whatever it is, it will hold us back when the game is on the line. And again, I expect a well run team to help players like Cole bring their potential to fruition. The Yankees are sorely lacking in that type of leadership, and therefore incapable of developing their players the way an elite team is required to.
I just watched an old video of Dom DiMaggio. When asked if he was close to his brother Joe he was emphatic about how close they were. The interviewer said that being close to each other it must have been difficult playing against each other. DiMaggio emphatically replied, "Oh, no. There was ALWAYS competition! There was no one we wanted to beat more than the Yankees" Compare that attitude to what Cole did.
There's one layer Cole is terrified of Devers. Horrified. Petrified. Humilified. And there are actually Yankee fans defending their poor scared lil pitcher

I am ok with the Red Sox spending their post-season watching Cole pitch and calling him a coward. You do you, Boston. :)
This is on Boone. If he had control of the team, Cole would not be making decisions like this on his own. If they game-planned it, and Cole misunderstood the situation, that’s on the manager. Communication is the responsibility of the manager. Period. End of story.
I disagree. Cole is a big money guy these athletes nowadays run sports. How many times does the pitch com go down?
It's a big fuss over nothing. RS are trying to salvage a bit of pride. Cole's problem was he came unraveled against the following batters.
cole becomes unraveled too easily. If he gets annoyed by something or if something doesn't go according to plan, he forgets how to pitch, and then gets owned.
Cole is a wuss.
The interview Cole did after the game made it seem like it wasn't really his decision. He sounded like he was trying to cover for Boone.
Cole’s next start will be a good one
I didn’t like the move it made Cole look weak. Not a good look for the reigning Cy young award winner.
Devers is now officially Cole's daddy 😂

Hope he opts out
Crazy thing is the fact that he got hit in the 1st inning might have intimidated him for the next at bat. But we'll never know now 😂
It was Cole's "NO MAS" moment which will haunt him forever.
