Gerrit Cole had this to say about struggling in his start!
That was a struggle,”The stuff was just over the middle of the plate, pitch after pitch, it just seemed like -- you know, credit to them, they got their ‘A’ swing on pitches that they should hit, and obviously they’re super talented and they have really good hitters. But boy, that was tough. Just really poor execution and just not great stuff and never really found a way to try to make it any better.”
Manager Aaron Boone had this to say about New York’s 10-7 win over Minnesota!
Don't let us hang around,”That's the dynamic. … There was that feeling out on the mound like, 'Hey, they're going to let us hang around. Keep grinding and we're going to get this one.' It's one of those nights it felt like there was that belief going on. They did a great job finishing it off."
Joey Gallo had this say to Gerrit Cole who was struggling mightily I think all we just kept telling Gerrit was, 'We got you. We got you,’” Gallo said. “We know we're going to come back in this game. That's the kind of offense we have and the kind of team that we have, so we didn't really think much of it. They just did a really good job handling him, because I've faced him plenty of times and it's not easy to hit off that guy. So it was just one of those days, and we had to pick it up for him."
Gerrit Cole who struggled in his start had this to say about relievers, offense picking him up!
This game is always bigger than one player, and for us to all pull in the same direction when it seemed like all the odds were against us, just shows a lot of grit,A lot of teams just cash that away, right? To be able to execute their plan on every single pitch, stay locked in, have that confidence, that’s big for all of us. They can learn something from it, and I certainly need to learn something from tonight’s game.”
