 first game in the Bronx and the Astros win it four to one behind Garrett Cole seven innings of four hit shutout baseball. Jose Al too big as two for five with a home run. So the Astros take a 2-1 series lead. Great to have you with us here on the post game. Bob Lorenz, Buck Showalter, John Flaherty and Jack Curry with you. This one came down to Garrett Cole. Not probably Jack at his best and the Yankees wasting some opportunities against him. Right Bob throughout the pregame we talked about how Garrett Cole was going to be a challenging pitcher for the Yankees to try and beat and he absolutely was but there's another part of the story today. Yes Cole had seven scoreless innings but the Yankees are going to lament all the opportunities they had to get to Cole. They stranded nine runners in the first five innings and I think sometimes when a pitcher absolutely dominates you you go home and you're seeing him in your sleep. I think what the Yankees are going to see in their sleep are those missed opportunities those chances they had to maybe make Cole feel uncomfortable where they didn't do that. Yeah I always write down during the game some of the mistakes that maybe they got that they could have done some damage. There was a few hanging sliders mixed in there are a few fastballs that maybe they could have done some damage but when you create all that traffic he walked five in this game you had opportunities you had him probably in the spot that you wanted him. You're going to go home tonight saying we missed so many chances and then I go to that seventh inning where the Astros added on a few. Adavino coming in struggling can't control a running game and the Houston Astros proved they have some power obviously but in that seventh inning manufactured a few runs it really was a difference. Yeah I never really felt like he was in distress even there was traffic out there. I thought the command and the walk total was dictated a little bit by they missed four or five pitches on him that could he had it so six in a row they supposedly threw balls to which I thought were strikes but even though he's got traffic out there you never felt like he was in a lot of distress one because he's got great stuff and so many since presentation but the way he presented himself I thought he handled the atmosphere as the way you expect a great pitcher to handle it. After they left Houston we said they're going to have to the Yankees beat other Gary Cole or Justin Verlander I guess what makes this one frustrating Jack is it was a winnable game against Gary Cole it was still two nothing going into the seventh. The weight continues for a potential win against Verlander and Cole and now this is two opportunities that they've had because Flash said it well earlier in the day that you want the same script from game two you want the chance to have a chance to beat the Astros with your bullpen the Yankees never even got to that in game three Severino's had struggled early he did not have a slider and gave up a couple of home runs on the slider but give Severino credit that he hung in there and kept us at a two to nothing game he didn't have his best stuff either but he kept the Yankee bats within a distance do some damage and then Dita Gregorius almost does with a potential three run homer a ball that lands a few feet away from being a three run homer and the Yankees are just going to remember this as a lost opportunity you got to give Cole credit for this that long layover a long break he came back in the sixth and the seventh and was as good as he was the whole night I think the Yankees are maybe thinking he maybe would get out of there with that long layoff he got better as that game went on where Severino when he came back out on the mound clearly was a compromise pitcher and they had to go to the bullpen I was also a little surprised Aaron Boone patient going to the bullpen right Severino through a ton of pitches in this ball game and Aaron Boone showing a little more patience I think Severino got better I think the key was he gave up two solo home runs he gave his team a team a chance to stay engaged to Cole as tough as that was it just that he never what there ever was a break in the army kept waiting for that anywhere got away from it might have got away from some command here and there but the good swings on him squaring guys up you see the just miss fly balls oh I just miss it oh I just the great pitchers you have that because they had that late life that little movement the breaking ball has a little more finish you don't quite square it up on the barrel it goes through the warning track instead in the seats
