Okay, so it doesn't look so good right now. None of us wanted to see Cole come out in the fourth inning and I'm sure we all felt our hearts sink but we have to wait and see what happens. That's just my opinion. On the other hand, we have the New York Post telling us it is time to PANIC in their story yesterday. Yes, PANIC, it was even in their headline, you can read it HERE.
No fan is happy but....PANIC? The whole season has been a scary rollercoaster ride. If you haven't PANICKED yet this season then that's an accomplishment. It's been a rough season. Don't let this be your reason to panic.
It's nice to see one New York media source not telling us to PANIC in the headline. So he responded well to testing and he felt well enough to jump on a treadmill. Definitely not a lot of clarity yet, but he's active and feeling okay so I will take it.
As for the New York Post wanting us to panic....I roll my eyes. We want and need our ace on the mound but the REAL REASON to panic is that our offense can't score! It doesn't matter if Cole pitched every game. If the offense doesn't do their job then it doesn't matter who is on the mound....not even if it is Andrew Heaney and he was miraculously pitching a gem.
Let's dig deeper and look at the REAL reason we should be panicking, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Gallo were a COMBINED 1 for 38 in the four games before we played the Blue Jays. More proof that the real reason to panic is our offense that can't score.
The Yankees postseason hopes and dreams do NOT fall on Cole's shoulders....but it does on our hitters that are not hitting. PANIC about THAT! Hope for good news about Cole.
The team needs to change their batting approach mostly the power hitters like Judge he is swing at those outside sliders, and JD needs to hit for small ball. After what the Mets did in one inning playing small ball took Yankees and twisted the Yanks heads right off, I shut the game off and played some Xbox.
