Gerrit Cole used Spider Tack and now he will stop using Spider Tack, along with everyone else. Cole will still be one of the best starting pitchers in baseball.

The Yankees faced a mediocre lefty at Fenway Park and could barely get the ball out of the infield. A mediocre lefty who, presumably, is not using Spider Tack.

The Yankees should collectively bat around .300 vs. lefties and the team should have a .700 winning percentage when they face a lefty starter.

Instead, they all strike out on three pitches whenever they get runners on base.

The Yankees shouldn't be worried about the Spider Tack crackdown. Cole will figure it out. They should celebrate by scoring six runs per game instead of four runs per game.
