“#Even Gerrit Cole is in awe of the Yankees\u2019 potential<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Having spent the previous two seasons with the Astros, Gerrit Cole knows what a good team looks like.<\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, the Yankees ace was asked his impression of the club he signed with as a free agent and has made two successful starts for.<\/p>\n

Cole response was three letters long: \u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on the Yankees winning seven of the first eight game<\/a>s of a 60-game season thanks to his right arm, the muscles belonging to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gio Urshela, and a solid bullpen that hasn\u2019t welcomed All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman back from COVID-19, Cole could have stopped with those three letters.<\/p>\n

Cole drooled about the strengths of the Yankees, whose 7-1 ledger after Sunday night\u2019s win against the reeling Red Sox is tops in baseball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe power is there. The communication through the lineup is there. The defense is crisp and guys are bringing it every night especially with a lot of unknowns and a lot of uncertainties,\u201d Cole said on a Zoom call from Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees swept a three-game series<\/a> from the wounded Red Sox. \u201cWe have certainly started off on the right foot. Very impressive so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cole opens a four-game stretch against the Phillies on Monday night. It is a team that hasn\u2019t played since July 26, when they hosted the COVID-19 infected Marlins in Philadelphia. Seeing Cole after seven days of no games isn\u2019t what any hitter would be looking forward to.<\/p>\n

In two starts, Cole is 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA, has whiffed a dozen in 11 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings and allowed five hits. He will take the Yankee Stadium mound for the first time with the team he grew up rooting for in Southern California and riding a career-best 18-game winning streak that was born on May 27 last year. It is the sixth-longest winning streak in baseball history.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously it went well for us,\u201d Cole said of the Yankees beating the defending World Series Nationals in a rain-shortened Opening Day game in Washington and the Orioles this past Thursday in Baltimore. \u201cSaw some improvement from the first game to the second. I thought we managed what we had well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanton was introduced to Cole in the National League when Cole pitched for the Pirates and Stanton was a Marlin. Three hits (one homer) in 10 at-bats against Cole\u2019s filthy stuff qualifies as well above average.<\/p>\n

\u201cAwesome, standard. I always talked to him across the way throughout the years and just followed suit being a teammate, watching him work and compete,\u201d Stanton said of Cole. \u201cBring that fire to the mound and making guys look foolish up there. It\u2019s fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whenever possible, Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake are going to use Cole on four days\u2019 rest. If that means juggling the other starters so be it; nine years, $324 million and Cole\u2019s talent trumps everything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time Gerrit Cole is getting ready to pitch I am excited whether it is pinstrip<\/a>es or he has the grays on,\u201d Boone said. \u201cThe fact that he is on our team that is usually an exciting day, knowing I get to write his name on the lineup card, knowing what he can potentially bring for us. I know it will be a big deal for him putting on the pinstripes for the first time in a real game. Then again I am excited every time he goes to the mound for us.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
