Very nice.

"After handing the ball over to Boone, Rodón brushed shoulders with the skipper, trudging off the mound. He was bombarded with boos from Yankees fans in the crowd at Kauffman Stadium as he walked slowly back to the dugout with his head down."

Volpe has a 3.2 WAR and his batting average is .207.

Last year, IKF had a 3.0 WAR and Yankee fans wanted him off the team.

Happy for Cole and an appropriate way to finish his Cy Young season.

My personal observation is that the pitch clock helped Cole because he didn't have a chance for his typical mental meltdowns.

He also seemed to pitch even better after the pressure was off.

But this is nitpicking for a well-deserved Cy Young season.

At least Dominguez can say he's a real Yankee now.

At this point, I think Aaron Boone just might speak a different language than the standard English we are used to hearing.

"Burnes was excellent," New York manager Aaron Boone said. "He maybe made a couple of mistakes where I thought we got some pitches to do some things with, but for the most part he was living on the edges."

If you read this quote without any knowledge of what happened, you'd think Burnes allowed four or five runs in six innings.

He threw a no-hitter for eight innings.

Boone is just lost in some sort of press conference corporate lingo.
