With Cole struggling, it\u2019s worth noting that the Yankees still owe<\/a> him $36 million per year through the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n

The six-time MLB<\/a> All-Star turned 36 earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people have been saying about Cole:<\/p>\n

Jorge Castillo:<\/a> \u201cThe Mets chased Gerrit Cole from this game with one out in the fifth inning and he heard some boos walking off the mound. Cole allowed three home runs. He\u2019s allowed seven homers over his last two starts, the most he\u2019s given up in a two-start span in his career. His final line: 4 1\/3 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 4 K, 77 pitches, 53 strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n

@DanAlanRourke:<\/a> \u201cDaytime Gerrit Cole never seems to be as good but the splits say he\u2019s only just a little worse. Not worried about him unless he pitches poorly during a box office night game\u201d<\/p>\n

Underdog MLB:<\/a> \u201cCarson Benge<\/a> hits the third HR of the game off Gerrit Cole Cole has now allowed 7 HR in his last two starts\u201d<\/p>\n

@RasheeTouchdown:<\/a> \u201cPathetic pitching. Giving his team no chance to win a ball game 2 games in a row\u201d<\/p>\n

@eyyankees:<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s time to have a conversation about Carlos Rodon being ahead of Gerrit Cole in the postseason rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

@TalkinBaseball_:<\/a> \u201cGerrit Cole has an 8.49 ERA in five career Subway Series starts\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Hubbs:<\/a> \u201cBad game. Bad Cole. He\u2019s gotta bounce back final few starts here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bryan Hoch:<\/a> \u201cGerrit Cole hears some boos as he exits in the 5th inning, trailing 5-1. The 7 HRs he has allowed in his last 2 starts are the most in any two-game span of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n
