The ace of the Yankees de New York, Gerrit Coledescribed the disappointment of coming up short in Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Statements by Gerrit Cole.
“It’s the worst feeling you can have, especially because you have to remain willing to believe and give yourself a chance. You just keep pushing and you keep pushing, and in the end, we come up short. “It’s just brutal,” Cole said after the game, according to SNY.
Cole pitched into the seventh inning, but was charged with five unearned runs after a disastrous top of the fifth. The 34-year-old failed to run to first base on a ground ball, allowing Mookie Betts to reach and score a run before the Dodgers added four more runs to tie the game at five.
What he said about the mistake.
“I took a bad angle towards the ball. He wasn’t sure how hard he had hit her. I hit it at a straight angle to cut it because I just didn’t know how hard I had hit it. By the time the ball passed me, I wasn’t in position to cover first base. Neither of us were,” Cole said.
You could say that Gerrit Cole He did his job, since none of the runs the Dodgers scored against his pitches were marked as earned, thanks to the errors of Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe and one of his own, which he talked about previously.
The $324 million starter finished with a line of 6.1 innings, 5 hits, 2 walks and 8 strikeouts in a do-or-die game for the New York Yankees.
The performance of Gerrit Cole It is a reflection of the season of Yankees de New York: a team with talent, but prone to failures at the least appropriate times. Defeat is tough, but Cole, with his determination and focus, will surely return next season with the same fire, ready to lead the Yankees de New York back to the big stage.
