Yes, we scheduled this before the news that Cole could miss the entire 2024 season

[@chrisakane9840]

They all come crawling back to my Stros eventually. Get well Cole 😅

[@chrisakane9840]

Yep there was no reason why my stros should have won in 2019 against nationals. Heck even braves earned that win in 2021. But 2019 man.

[@MrGecko-dm9kh]

Right after he’s my first pick for fantasy too

[@killacam2644]

Ouch

[@yankmyass]

Wait what???

[@np_567]

This 97-year old NYC diner still serves their coke the old-fashioned way. People forget just how good 2019 Gerrit Cole was. Greg Maddux once pitched a complete game in 76 pitches. Today, this is called 4 innings of work. Fernando Tatis Sr. is the only player EVER to hit TWO GRAND SLAMS in the same inning.

[@thesportranter5295]

78 Pitches*

[@smoceany9478]

i believe this is now known as "4 innings" to most current starting pitchers

[@LearnedSophistry]

Barry Bonds in 2004 reached base safely 376 times with only 373 at bats

[@smoceany9478]

Greg Maddux faced 20,421 batters during his career and only 310 saw a 3-0 count. 177 of those were intentional.

97-year old Gerrit Cole still bites out of a foam football best iPhone feature the old-fashioned way

[@generallychill]

right when he's injured you drop this vid

[@kristopherwilson506]

0:40 considering the report didn't come out until November 12, 2019, and MLB didn't confirm it until some weeks later, there wasn't really a cloud hanging over the 2019 season except for rampant speculation (speculation, I might add, that wasn't exclusive to the Astros)

[@travisp5747]

Yeah when I heard him say the scandal cloud hovered over the 2019 team immediately thought that’s impossible. Lol not sure how something that wrong could be the opener for a channel that creates great content. Puzzling

[@shoukatsukai]

@@travisp5747 only reason there's a cloud hanging over the 2019 Astros is because the internet fell for the buzzer conspiracy without doing even the barest of research.

[@johnanthony9923]

Wow. 15 minutes and you managed to never even mention Spider Tack? Now do a video about how great Barry Bonds was without mentioning steroids.

[@hvymtlpoet]

Everyone was using spider tack during this time

[@KidAndretti]

This dumbass here

[@cash7669]

I’m from KC but when I visited NYC the first time this past winter, I made sure to go to the diner. It’s called “Lexington Candy Shop” and it was awesome. Gerrit Cole’s run was incredible

[@ryanlybarger80]

Two Words...Spider Tack

[@jacc4173]

You forgetting he just had a cy young season without it 🤐

[@joeblow5106]

@@jacc4173 garbage. likley been using something his entire career

[@jethrojacinto2798]

@@jacc4173 doesn't change the fact that he still used it

[@CrazedHistorian]

so did every pitcher and their mother so fucking what saying this after they cracked down on the rules is stupid and hes still killing it

[@ook619]

So did everyone, and the first year nobody could use it he won the Cy Young, he just gets the yankee tax in the media where every yankee is evil and can do no good, still dozens of yankees with over 60 war and 4+ rings that will never make the hall of fame because of the media bias

[@patmanbnl]

This Nats fan would like to thank AJ Hinch for leaving him in the bullpen in game 7.

[@slompywompus7966]

They need to put JV’s sticky stuff mix in the hall of fame after that 2019 year

[@shoukatsukai]

He won Cy Young in 2022🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@yankee2858]

He’s not hurt he’s not hurt he’s not hurt he’s not hurt (I’m coping)

[@alexw0310]

8:34 What are you trying to say? He won the Cy Young award with the Yankees last season. 11:53 "young?" They were the oldest team in MLB that season

[@maxbublik4545]

I don’t think you understand what aura means

[@figmillenium]

2 of 10 full MLB seasons (20% of his career) with the Astros is not a “small fraction”. His record was 35-10 in those years.

[@rayrodriguez7367]

Here for the spider tack comment

[@kyledavis693]

How are we not going to talk about the role of sticky stuff...

[@JoeelsChannel]

Sticky sticky

[@asher1kenobi]

I was JUST thinking this needed to have a video on Cole

[@shoukatsukai]

A meme that so ironic that it ended up becoming true. I've seen a few people say his 2023 Cy Young was better than his 2019. Way off.

[@mets8181]

*Side by side 2017 stats of Jose Altuve and Aaron Judge* Joey Gallo took Greg Maddux’s daughter to prom and threw a no hitter that same day. Picture of Lucas Giolito, Jack Flaherty and Max Fried on the same High School Varsity team.

[@Nalucha]

I often wonder how much less frequent that sentence would be if he had won the 2019 Cy Young Award. Which he absolutely should’ve done, I still can’t believe that Verlander won it over him.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Spidertack-Man

[@AAli220]

He has his only CYA without it

[@canadasown02]

My vote went to Gerrit that year, I was kind of shocked he didn’t win

[@j.r.williamson5475]

I like to think JV's no hitter that season was the tie breaker

[@shoukatsukai]

The 2019 World Series was "the incident" at my high school.

[@Pabloreyes68461]

The fact that he didnt win the cy young is criminal

[@OvisTheLargeLad]

This was spider tack the only reason his 2023 is better is because he didn’t cheat to do it like come on Cole is a phenomenal pitcher but his 2019 should honestly be an outlier and when he’s all set and done it probably will be

[@shoukatsukai]

Casual take, disrespecting the best pitching season of the 2010s that didn't win Cy Young

[@l.bokros684]

“Yankees, take your shot” was about the Yankees trying to win a game against him in the ALCS, not free agency lol

[@supergoose5142]

Honestly the best feature of iOS

[@hateusernames2]

Cole's injured? we're watching Gerrit Cole's dominant 2019 season now that he's injured? Whoa

3:37 WLR refrence???

[@tarilapoweigha9017]

Cole should have won the cy young.

[@Lorrddyyy]

I love Cole and respect him but this was when he was using the Spider Tack sticky stuff he has been really good on the Yankees, but nowhere near as good as this year since the sticky stuff year was fake.

[@smoceany9478]

wait, how old fashioned? cause that could be a serious problem

[@therocknrollmillennial535]

At some point between 1903 and 1929, what I would guess you're referring to was completely gone from the recipe. My money is on the fact that it's not in there.

[@nomercyinc6783]

years where players were blatantly cheating isnt capable of being impressive. cheating makes nobody important nor good at anything they do

[@dominic64tblightning24]

No idea why JV won the CY over him

[@oscarc5875]

You mean trashstors right?

[@JRigs]

I’ll take Cole over Verlander any day
