I hope that Grayson is watching closely tonight. Cole is what he could be if/when he ever learns to pitch off of his fastball with good command.

Hope Grayson isn't paying too close attention to Cole!

Cole looks miffed. So pleasant to see.

He needs to "Man up". 

[Rbiggs2525]

Has the Cole spider tack stuff been discussed in this thread? He looks visibly upset he cannot use whatever he was using previously. There are plenty of times he has rubbed the ball down but rubbed the back of his hand first. He also goes to his hat every couple of pitches.

Gotta be a confidence builder for Gunnar to crush a ball off Cole...

I assume you meant that as a joke...lol

We can only hope that Grayson turns out to be anywhere close to as good.

That play by Mateo is the reason you shouldn't pull him from the lineup...

I love Matteo's defense and baserunning. Because of those qualities, he should be given, and he's being given, lots of time to show he can hit some. But "lots of time" can't be "forever."

[Malike]

Cheapies count both ways.

[O's84]

If you keep falling behind, bad things will happen eventually and voila. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Damnit Bradish. Gave it right back. 

[O's84]

Fastball velocity down along with command and control problems.

[Malike]

Bradish not getting the Cole calls.

[mrbig1]

This could be Bradish last inning. Pitch count is way up.

On YES, the guest this inning is Michael Milken, raising money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, which he founded. Milken is also the former junk bond king who in the 1980s fleeced investors, pled guilty to securities fraud and did jail time. He is permanently barred from the securities industry. He was pardoned by President Trump.

Exactly--and they allowed him to totally hog up the half-inning so much that the other non-Waldman announcer cdn't squeeze his PBP in sideways. Cdn't describe Gunnar's homer as it happened. Unbelievable brown-nosing on an unrelated topic during the effin ballgame. And the next inning now Waldman just added more about how important and generous Milken is! Cram it!!!

Cole is not going deep in this game, he is being hit hard. Bradish just needs to shake that HR off and hold the fort for a couple more innings.
