[Gerrit Cole, when asked what it would take to get past the Astros] “My expertise is not in General Managing or acquiring or building rosters, so it’s hard for me to answer, but I watched the series and I didn’t really see an area where we played better than them.”

Cole speaks the truth. The Astros beat us in every facet of the game.
Ouch. Not great when players are starting hitting the manager and front office, but it needs to happen.
His comments on Judge are interesting. Seems like he thinks he won’t be coming back.
Definitely were outmatched overall. Lineup was the most glaring spot to me.
I get the feeling our starters were mostly good throughout not just the playoffs, but the season in general. We also had many injuries in the bullpen, so that is an area where you have to imagine Yanks will be better next year.
The lineup needs fixing.
He’s right, they beat us all around. I like Gerrit
Cole has grow on me out of the big 3 of him, Stanton and Judge only he showed up consistently in playoffs this year
Judge is goooooooooone
Finally some honesty and accountability from a player.
If it weren’t for the fact we were the doormat to their 2017 title, I wouldn’t mind being beaten by Houston. It’s the fact that they cheated, and now they are actually legitimately good and we can’t beat them that bothers me.
How can we beat the Astros?
Cole: “We need an entirely new team”
Cole and Stanton need to instill the killer instinct in these losers.
Cole should be GM he’d already be 10x better than Fraudman
5th Straight October with agony for myself and the rest of this Yankee Fanbase. Brian Cashman really is great at finishing 4th every year but that’s no longer enough. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result. Time for some serious change up top.
At least it won’t hurt as bad when Judge leaves now
A good honest answer
Pitching depth at all levels, solutions at 3B & SS, LF, more left bats, improved contact, better defense with less errors.
Look he pisses me off a lot but he clearly cares and he’s not one to beat around the bush, which I appreciate. Same with Stanton, they tell it how it is and they’re honest. They need more of that.
