Wild to think that Anthony Santander was the Blue Jays big splash free-agency signing in the offseason and he may not even make their World Series roster while healthy. He got paid big bucks and then prompty crapped the bed as a contributing player.
So let me get this straight LA, your Dodgers are in the WS. The opposing team is from Canada, and the Astros didn't even make the postseason. Yet this is what's posted on the Dodger Reddit: Rent free.
I've posted this Tweet about 100 times the last 6 years. Cole was one game away from his 300-million-dollar contract. He made the rules and he wasn't coming in mid-inning or if the Astros were losing. Hinch should have just let Greinke finish the inning and Cole have the 8th and 9th inning with a one run lead.
The GMs of both Seattle and Houston. Hell Polanco may have been the difference between the Astros winning another World Series and missing the playoffs.
Cole has denied that they agreed on him not coming in the middle of the inning. That also makes no sense on why he couldn't come in the middle of a inning? bumgarner did it for the giants previous year
This was a Hinch thing. His bullpen management has always been questionable and it's what killed the Tigers in the deciding game 5 against the Mariners a week ago.
Everything seems like a pointless lie by Gerrit Cole. AJ Hinch I think was told "No" by Gerrit Cole from the Bullpen. Gerrit Cole hasn't lived up to Postseason expectations since being with the Yankees.
Gerrit Cole not covering 1st Base in the World Series. Gerrit Cole losing to the Indians in a Elimination Game. 1 Cy Young = 1 Tommy John Surgery
Bullshit. Cole never told AJ he wouldn't come in. Did you not see how pissed Cole was after the game? He wanted the ball and he was ready to come in. Astros knew they wouldn't sign him yet they saved him for literally no reason. Hinch never knew how to manage the bullpen. Okay and? If Cole had came in the 7th and pitched a shutout his value would've increased even more. He wanted to close out the game cuz he knew it would make him more money
So just your opinion right? Your opinion doesn't invalidate anything you're being told here about what we DO know so do you have anything to prove this? Cole has NEVER commented on this and he's never denied anything Hinch HAS said about this entire situation. If Hinch was full of **** I'm sure Cole would say it but he never has.
