The way the Yankees went out, on their own field, was embarrassing. The combination of Gerrit Cole not covering first, and Anthony Rizzo not hustling to first was horrendous. Cole was pitching so great. Rizzo gave a speech to the team the game before. Gio is defending Rizzo for fielding a ball that was spinning in a very odd way and he wanted to make sure he secured the ball. Your $36 million man can’t even cover first base. Even after the disastrous fifth inning, they came back and took the lead. Walks and sac flies did them in after that. Boomer doesn’t like players ‘butterflying through life’. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with John Sterling on the call as Aaron Judge dropped a fly ball in center. We then heard the Volpe throwing error in the same inning. We then heard from Sterling as Cole didn’t cover first base on the Mookie Betts grounder. Then Freddie Freeman had a 2-run single. Then Hernandez hit a ball over Judge’s head and the game was suddenly tied 5-5. After the game Aaron Boone said he was ‘heartbroken’. Judge talked about the drop after the game. Gerrit Cole was asked about not covering first. In the final segment of the hour, last night was a ‘never forget type night’ for Yankees fans. Juan Soto was asked about free agency after the game and he said all 30 teams are options for him. Boomer said he should have realized it was right after a World Series loss. As much as you care about your team, you will never get that from most players on your team.
