The deal itself is good for the Rockies, it's just that it's the wrong team.

ZiPS would have given Cron 2/25 at Coors.

Cole got away with one there. Really bad location, which was his problem towards the end of the year.

Statcast is good so far. I like that they have a bit of a light touch with the stats, the game is still front is center.

I like not listening to A-Rod, but at the the same time, I kinda wonder what he's saying.

You miss the moments like the even/odd lead thing or the time he said the Astros were his big sleeper pick going in to 2020.

If MLB did something like the Manningcast who would you want to see? I think Hunter Pence would be fun

Enos Cabell, but you'd have to put in on HBO or something.

Not a job for me. Last time I sewed something was like a button a year ago and I sewed the button to both the shirt and the shirt I was wearing at the time.

Cole's command so far is not what you normally get.

I assume if Arod says something really dumb Twitter will let me know, i don't need to suffer in real time

A-rod is pobably something about making sure you tie your shoelaces the right way in elimination games making the difference between the pitcher being effective and giving up an odd lead in the first

Cole's offspeed command is there . . . will be interesting to see the usage as he goes.

Do any of these teams matchup well with the Rays or a gentleman`s sweep by the Stable is the most likely?

Anything is possible in a short series!
Kevin Goldstein

ANYTHING.

ZiPS thinks the Yankees are better but that the a single-Cole series makes them a worse matchup to the Rays than the Sox.

About Cole's off speed command...

Absolute meatball. 89. No action. Right down the . . . . I'll keep it family friendly, middle.

Bogey at 12 o'clock.
That was a baaaaaad pitch.

My phone tried to auto-correct Gerrit Cole to "Ferret Roll"--is this a new nickname for Cole, or just a side dish served alongside Cincinnati chili?
Kevin Goldstein
8:32
CINCINNATI CHILI IS DELICIOUS. I will not be taking questions on this.
AvatarJon Becker

I believe Dan is most geographically qualified to answer that, but I went to college in Ohio and yes, that DOES sound like a Skyline side dish

In the neural network nickname list I made last year for the Yankees, Cole was The Snack Man.

Dan do you have the neural network nicknames?

Seeing the graphic about Cole's last 5 starts vs his previous 15 (or whatever the number was), is his worse performance due to fatigue or maybe opposition? Btw that CH right up in the middle of the zone.
Kevin Goldstein

We can only wonder, but I do wonder about the hamstring issue he has.
