    Gerrit Cole ripped by fans for his explanation of the key mistake in the Yankees’ loss

    Vaseline Posted on

    The New York Yankees brutally coughed up Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night, ending their season by watching the Dodgers celebrate a title in the Bronx.

    The Yankees and their fans will likely never forget a disastrous fifth inning in which they made three stunning errors in the field.

    One of those came with the bases loaded and two outs when pitcher Gerrit Cole failed to cover first for Anthony Rizzo, who had to field a spinning grounder from Mookie Betts. Instead of getting out of the inning, the Dodgers scored a run on the play and then added four more in the frame to tie the game at 5-5.

    Watch this play:

    After the match, Cole tried to explain what he was thinking at that moment:

    “I took a bad angle to the ball. I wasn’t sure how hard he hit it,” Cole said. “By the time the ball got to me, I wasn’t in a position to cover first. Neither of us were.”

    Here are his full comments:

    Fans were not impressed:
