 Let's find out from Aaron Boone about this one in the manager's report brought to you by Geico Aaron, why do you think it was such a struggle for Cole tonight? um I think just command-wise he was a little off And not and not frankly a lot, you know a lot of close pitches That they did a good job with and he and he made a couple mistakes, you know You know when he was trying to get it to a spot and And yanked a couple on the homers the curemeyer homer, you know trying to go away with that And I think just pulled it in the kind of the nitrogen and then Choi was a tough match up trying to backdoor the slider, but probably just a little too much of the plate You know, I thought he competed really well for having all kinds of traffic and kind of managed his way through it and I thought Actually similar to Atlanta I feel like he is getting into that midseason form where in his delivery the stuff's coming out very easy You know, I think it's just just tightening up that elite command which makes him You know Garrett Cole, which makes him an ace so but but they they strung, you know a lot of tough at bats against them He's now allowed 12 home runs on the season. Is that number alarming to you? I mean look it's a little surprising. Um, I think that'll as we as we go here I think hopefully that continues to come down as he just continues to execute a little bit better You know, but also think, you know Anytime you're going up against an ace like Garrett, you know From a game planning standpoint, you know, I think guys Sell out for some things a little differently than they normally would and and sometimes those mistakes can turn into slug So I think he's been bitten by that obviously a little bit here in a few outings, but I don't expect it to become a trend But the last two outings a little bit of rough ones for him Do you worry at all about a guy like Garrett Cole or do you just expect that he'll get it right? Yeah, I expect it and and again what I'm seeing in a lot of ways I know I know the the line hasn't been great, but I feel like the improvement As far as the ease of his stuff and the delivery Is very close to where it needs to be and and it has even improved from the beginning of the season
