    Buck did not sound like he wanted to talk to Verlander at all. A pitcher of his caliber, talking while Cole is pitching, seems like it would be intriguing conversation.

    Cole is struggling putting guys away more than normal.

    For most of the past two seasons there haven't been a lot of foul balls with two strikes.

    Boom.

    Yanks seem geared up for Cole's FB upstairs...fouling a bunch of them off...if he can get his curve going he's got these ****tards in his back pocket.

    50 pitches through three innings.

    We will need to go to the pen a little earlier unless Cole gets locked in.

    Maybe Verlander's wife and Joe Smith's can jello wrestle during the 7th inning stretch.

    Some of it has been mechanical but I don't think his command is quite as good.

    Ideally we pull him around 100 pitches.

    Some of it is that this Yankees line up is nasty. I wouldn't say it is fatigue.

    This isn't even biased, Severino is getting a better zone than G.

    Hes playing on the road for the first time this offseason. He hasnt pitched in outdoor cold weather in awhile. Let him settle in.

    Relax guys we're up 2-0. Cole will hit his stride.

    Correa is like the Puerto Rican version of Ashton Kutcher from That 70's Show........ but with a 75/80 arm and 70/80 bat.

    A very assuring feeling with Reddick having a great ab first time up and that one thereafter.

    I'm betting this is the last inning for Severino with the top of the order up next inning.

    Yes I hoped we would be able to get to him in the 3rd.
