After Rafael Devers' pure domination against Gerrit Cole over their careers, Coe decided to intentionally walk Devers in the 4th innings, it it back fired greatly.
You can see on the video that Devers is visibly confused when the umpire awarded him 1st base with out taking a signal pitch, the decision turned out to be a massive mistake as setting up a 3-run Red Sox inning that sent Coles outing in a downward spiral.
The Yankees ended up losing the game 7-1 after the surprise decsion by Cole.
«Clearly, that was a mistake,» Cole said. «I think that I bought into the plan going into it, but afterward, it was the wrong move.»
«Once we scored the run [in the third inning], my preference would have been, �Let's attack him,'» Boone said. «But obviously, I didn't communicate that well enough. I think Gerrit was a little indecisive out there and rolled with it.»
Do you think that this was cowardly by Cole to not even attempt to get Devers out?
