Well, at least pre-1994…

Now, if you're bad

And you don't know where to go to

The last five saves you've tried, blow.

Why don't you take my pitching tip,

By puttin' on the spit?



Your curve ball is just a shallow drooper

You're getting hit like Braden Looper

Makes us want to get the pooper-scooper

You ain't Super-duper



(Musical interlude for tap dancing monster)



If you're pitchin' lousy

And your games make us feel drowsy

Take my pitching tip.

Try puttin' on the spit.



If the batters you ain't fooling,

Why not try a little drooling?

Take my pitching tip.

Try puttin' on the spit.

Cole's answer is absolutely awful. Yankees comms team should have anticipated that question was coming -- there was no way it was not coming -- and worked with him on a better answer than silence, stammering and a word salad.

That was the best non-answer to a baseball cheating question since Jason Giambi ... now which team did he play for when he was similarly stumped?

Yankees comms team should have anticipated that question was coming -- there was no way it was not coming -- and worked with him on a better answer than silence, stammering and a word salad.

What's there to be coached? Either Cole used Spider Tack or some similar sticky substance or he didn't. What? You're gonna teach Cole to pivot? And then what? So when Cole, thanks to you, pivots and changes the subject to Julie Andrews' performance in Mary Poppins, that's gonna fool everybody into forgetting they asked Cole about his use of Spider Tack in the first place?



The big travesty in that Cole interview wasn't even Cole's answer -- he answered the question, if in an unintended and clumsy way. The travesty was the media's own questioning. Where was the follow-up? "Why can't you answer this question?" "Why do you find it hard to answer this question?" "What is it about this question that you don't understand? We'd be glad to elaborate or explain whatever you don't undestand." "Do you realize that your answer about prior generations of players handing down new traditions and techniques to your generation of players doesn't answer our previous question -- that is, did you yourself ever use Spider Tack?"

Gerritt Cole having a good night tonight, theoretically w/o sticky stuff, vs Minnesota [2 ER, 5 hits, thru 6]

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

The fired Angels clubhouse guy who exposed Cole is now naming Corey Kluber and even Joba!

I have to say, even in a low-scoring affair like tonight, my enjoyment in baseball has tripled since the ban on goo.
