They did not play pristine ball in Game 3.<\/p>\n<p>The debatable call by Boone to remove Cole (the kind that adds up in the postseason) became academic when the Yankees could not push so much as a single run across the plate during a night when they had one hit through the first 8 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt like I was pitching like myself. I was mostly surprised,\u201d said Cole, who had essentially saved the Yankees\u2019 season six days earlier with a clutch outing in Game 4 against Cleveland in the ALDS. \u201cI was just not ready to come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There hadn\u2019t been much hard contact in the inning. A walk and a flare that dropped into short right followed a hard-hit double to left. Boone had a choice between sticking with his ace or giving the ball to a reliever. He chose the latter, calling on Lou Trivino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hoping to get Gerrit through there. I felt like he threw the ball incredibly well,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI got Trivino up just in case he needed some help there with the bottom righties that we liked him against but obviously the way it turned out, it didn\u2019t work for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-2-3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Gerrit Cole reacts dejectedly after giving up a two-run homer to Chas McCormic in the second inning of the Yankees' Game 3 defeat.\" class=\"wp-image-24368627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-2-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-2-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-2-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-2-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Gerrit Cole reacts dejectedly after giving up a two-run homer to Chas McCormic in the second inning of the Yankees\u2019 Game 3 defeat.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">N.Y.

Cole, who received a warm reception on his way back to the dugout as a residue of good will from his performance against the Guardians, finished with five runs against (three earned) on five hits in five-plus innings while striking out seven. Trivino, with no such reservoir of good feelings, was booed after the inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m about as frustrated as you can get,\u201d Cole said. \u201cYou have to pitch with a shutout mentality. There are always going to be a handful of pitches that tip the balance in playoff baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pitches that tipped the balance were thrown by Cole and then by Trivino, not by Houston starter Cristian Javier, who allowed one hit over 5 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings, nor by the five Astros relievers who followed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-5-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Gerrit Cole\" class=\"wp-image-24369017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-5-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-5-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-5-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Gerrit-Cole-5-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Gerrit Cole<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">N.Y.

They cut their strikeouts down to 10 after racking up 17 and 13, respectively, in Houston. Whoop-de-do. All that tends to make Boone\u2019s decision to lift Cole rather immaterial.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees will turn to Nestor Cortes on Sunday to avoid red-faced humiliation. This is not about banging the drum slowly. Neither is it about a buzzer beater.<\/p>\n<p>This is about waiting \u2019til next year.
