The New York Yankees are bad and bad, having been swept by the Tampa Bay Rays and consummated his worst start to the season since 1997 with a record of 5 wins and 10 losses, Which is also the lowest record in the entire American League and the third in all of MLB. Not even the Yankees ace, Gerrit Cole, could stop the Rays from taking the brooms and at the post-match press conference, he had words for his teammates.
According to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch, Cole mentioned that the situation the team is in is not at all pleasant, and that the clubhouse is not happy at all with his performances, but says that one way or another, they have to fix this already.
Everyone on this team has ever gone through a period in which we haven’t played our best baseball, but that several of our cylinders aren’t fueling well at the same time is worrisome. We have a lot of experience and a lot of good toilets. When you play for so long, you know you’re going to go through a lot of garbage and we have to put on our boots and go through all the mud in front of us.
Gerrit Cole threw 6.1 innings this Sunday and took the loss to the Rays although he had a very good performance, in which he punched 10 batters and allowed two clean runs and one foul thanks to an error by Aaron Hicks, lowering his effectiveness to 1.82 in the season and his record to 2-1.
