I’m open for suggestions; you guys are all watching the game too,” Cole said. “He has the ability to ride a ball out at the bottom of the zone, has the ability to catch up to my fastball. He’s proven that. … It’s pretty wild. There just hasn’t been a mishit. Roll over one time. Line out one time. You’re supposed to fail seven out of 10 times in this gig. I don’t know what the deal is.”
