NEW YORK (AP) – The noise of the fake crowd. Gerrit Cole’s frown is real.
The new ace dropped back-to-back runs for Mike Ford and Miguel And-jar in a game inside the squad as the pitcher and sound formula recorded the sounds recorded for the New York Yankees’ debut.
Those fourth inning races were allowed by Cole for only five innings and two-thirds on Friday night. He retired seven, did not walk and hit a batter, pitching 87 pitches.
“The back-to-back circuits were not desirable from my point of view,” he said. “I realized I was in a position where I was spraying a fragile running lump, and we and I became an uncompetitive segment. And I realized myself in fastball conditions where I had to run the boys. It’s kind of a predictable countdown, and then they controlled their swing.
The next step is the opening of the primary league season pandemic, World Series champion, Washington Nationals, on Thursday night in a game opposed to Max Scherzer.
“God, be funny, ” said Cole. “There will be a fake noise from the crowd and there will be coronavirus baseball 2020.”
New York began experimenting with the artificial noise of the crowd Friday at Yankee Stadium, where only 1 of the 50,000 seats or seats was occupied through what an employee watched from the fifth row behind the marble. As the Yankees prepared for the birth of the season in empty stadiums, the point was low at first and the feature became more exuberant, even for regime balls.
“Early in the day, my biggest friend didn’t like it,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. “It was a segment like we were looking for a song on our AM radio to discanopy the station and we couldn’t locate it. I felt a little better with him during the game. I thought it was a little more herbal. So I hope there may be some adjustments ».
Cole played the mound with the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” the same warm-up music from the 29-year-old. He conceives the noise of the crowd and the paintings in progress.
“It’s not the same, is it? It looks like a similar segment, I guess, once you’re in your area and you’re not the best friend to pay attention,” he said. “But Yankee enthusiasts sound much better than the sound made. It’s not just the general strength of the people in the park. But there’s probably been a moment or two of that just normal, I guess, to some extent.”
He also has to get used to the pandemic rule that calls for each pitcher to have his own grip material rather than to share,
“I took a little care on the colofano bag,” he said, saying that if a staff member is never very responsible, “I have to pick it up and return it to a circular because we had three or four.” over there and somebody’s going to hit him.
Signed on a nine-year, $32 million contract, the biggest contract for a pitcher, tied for the maximum logical salary this season with Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout with $36 million.
Major League Baseball’s initial proposal to start the season late would have reduced Cole’s guaranteed salary to $5.58 million, however, with the cave in paint negotiations, it would reach $13333333 in proportional pay if all 60 games were played.
“I think either of us, and every time these negotiations extend to the public, they leave a bad taste, not only in the mouths of the fans, but on both sides of the line,” he said. “In fact, I didn’t see it as some kind of identification. We think like a group, think like a unit, and we simply review and take the highest productive resolution for the integrity of the game and how we do it.” so, taking him as his best friend, no, it’s a shame he’s so public.
Squadron details
Ford fired a box in the right box paddock, and Andjar followed it with an opposite box shot in the similar place.
Cole pitched out of second-and-third, one-out trouble in the fifth. Andujar also homered in Cole’s first intrasquad, on July 7.
LEMAHIEU
Second base DJ LeMahieu returned to practice after virtually missing his best friend two weeks with COVID-19. LeMahieu took the Grounders to base for the time being and had to attack inside. Boone said the team had planned for the next four or five days and had not forced leMahieu to be in position for the opening.
FRAZIER MASK
Gardener Clint Frazier announced his decision to wear a mask while playing. “I had a wonderful variety of positive reviews. I also won a wonderful variety of negative reviews, simply through the mask. Many other Americans have their own opinions,” he said. “Other Americans have called me a sheep, but everything is fine. Clearly, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But with the scenario we find ourselves in, with the fragility of this virus for some other Americans, I’m not my best friend. too concerned about negative comments because, to move forward, I think it’s right to give the shield directly to myself, protect others, me and everyone who comes home.
