 Well, thanks a lot Ryan the bottom line David is when Garrett Cole's on the mound You expect to get a win, but they're eight and seven with Garrett Cole on the mound And now Garrett Cole and the Yankees have had two losses in games against the Tigers and the Royals and you know You're gonna you're gonna rule those days. Yeah, it's hard to sustain momentum You know when you're building as the Yankees are and have been and they've shown signs of Going on a run and then all of a sudden games like these kind of side-saddle you and you know It's frustrating if you're a Yankee fan if you follow this team. Well, you see the signs of life coming together There's so many good stories Gary Sanchez right at the top of the list Garrett Cole struggles in terms of getting run support kind of at the top of the list now, too All right, so let's talk about Garrett Cole I thought he looked pretty good again the last couple of starts the strikeouts the double digits strikeouts They're not there, but he's kind of found another way well He does you know Garrett Cole knows how to pitch you know And he's made adjustments on the fly as well as anybody in the American League this year in my opinion just watching him The use of the change up the use of the slider He seems to find pitches that work early in the game and then go to them tonight. It was a slider as you noted You got it That was his best pitch in terms of swings and misses and when he really needed a strikeout even only you know He only had six he went to that slider now one problem for the Yankees And this has been a problem all year is getting big hits with runners in scoring position Yankees had several Chances tonight to break the game open and just to take a look at one small snapshot when they had the Runner at third fewer than two outs. They didn't get a hit. They scored on a wild pitch That's been a problem all year So they were 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position tonight including in the ninth inning and then they left 13 runners on base Yeah, you know it usually you know we talk about the Yankees We've talked about early in the years them missing pitches to hit You know the meatball the ball down the middle that they fouled off or just missed tonight That wasn't the case. It was them chasing out of the zone Especially in the ninth inning Holland striking Frasier out on a pitch up and out of the zone Certainly would have changed the complexion of that ninth inning and then in those bases loaded situations Stanton swinging at the first pitch on balls in off the plate just a bit So I saw some overzealousness a little over anxiousness and the Yankees chasing pitches out of the zone especially in situations where they really needed good at bats and even though things went wrong and they left all those Runners on base. It's about this much from time to game with Aaron judge That's the that's the plus side here is the Yankees never died here And now they're showing signs of life that they can come back in these types of games They almost stole that one back after giving it away in the top of the eighth inning So certainly, you know, you feel better about the overall chances of the lineup Luke Voight back a big lift We certainly haven't seen the full Monty with Sanchez in the lineup. What's it going to look like? Can Stanton play left field and we're going to see that in the future I mean, we really haven't seen the full maximum lineup when they're lined up Especially now that Gary Sanchez back on top of his game what that lineup is going to look like And we should take a closer look before we go at that inning with Jonathan Well, I should go on the mound although he did give up hits and big situations. He was not helped by Tyler Wade Yeah, you know and to me that's hard to put on Tyler Wade That was not the easiest play up the middle He had to travel to his backhand and wheel and deal. That's a hard throw. The hop was right there It was a short hop usually DJ LeMay he will make that a normal first baseman will but the ball took off like a hit a Rock or had some spin on it. So a little bit of unusualness on that one I can't blame Tyler Wade for that one the tough play to at home Maybe a little bit of a hesitation there, but not especially egregious I mean, it's really it would have taken a bang bang play to even have a chance at home So certainly, you know, those are not easy chances on Tyler Wade defensively and the throw home was an absolute bullet And obviously the the tag was just a smidge late and again low Isaac who were so used to being Seeing him being almost perfect. He did give up big hits Well, he did and it seemed like the Royals had a good approach They were ready for that two-seamer in and normally low Isaac at Barry's that two-seamer into right-handed batters He didn't quite get it in with Maryfield hit one to start it off. Dozier hit one later in that inning Certainly the two-seamer to Santana was up and out over the plate that he laced off the wall the other way So some hard-hit balls along with some ground balls that found holes off of the wise again It was a little bit of a Murphy's Law inning for him. All right two more games to go in this series Obviously, they'll try to even things up tomorrow night and then a series finale on Thursday afternoon Ryan
