  1. Multiple choice test:
    – Zach Cole Is a natural fit in the 2 hole (pause)
    – Zach Cole > CJ Stroud
    – Zach King Cole will save our season
    – All of the above

  9. I didn’t even know who Zach Cole was a week ago, and now he’s single handedly trying to save our season.

  12. Cole came in and saved the day! I hope Yordon is alright and it’s just a sprain. Let’s win tomorrow and go on a hot streak!

  24. I’m not a religious dude.

    But the power of jesus is giving Zack Cole strength and I’m all fucking for it.

    St. Cole.

  27. Zach King Cole is so precious 🥹 Talking about first being concerned for Yordan and praying for him. Then calling Julia “ma’am” He can stay!!!!

  28. I don’t know about y’all, but I am tired of these pyrrhic victories where we win but yet another player gets hurt. We have 11 games left. Can we just have normal wins?

    Yordan having an ankle sprain is best case, considering the issues he’s had with his knees. But Zach Cole came in and…HE. IS. HIM. The Silver Boot is still in play if we sweep and we can almost take them out of the race for the division crown before we take on the Mariners. We have one win down, let’s get another one tomorrow. And another.

    Fuck it. Let’s just win out.

  29. Maybe Espada should consider keeping Cole in the 2 hole if Yordan is gonna be out for a significant amount

  33. So yordan might come back, but it will have to be during playofffs (if we are lucky). Have to hunker down rest of the season without him.

  34. Altuve-Walker-Meyers-Diaz-Caratini combined 0-17 and we scored 6. We just need players to take turns producing every game and we can still win. If these guys can do something tomorrow, that would be awesome.

  35. LFGO tomorrow. Not sure who pitches tomorrow*. Just happy we left Framber in the ATL airport. *Edit
