Step one accomplished. Cole pitched like an ace last night. He might even have gone deeper into the game if that little kerfuffle with Volpe hadn't emptied the benches and broken Cole's rhythm in the sixth. Gleyber and Giancarlo continue to perform at a high level and Judge's double gives me hope that the ALCS will feature the "real" Aaron Judge. Also, gotta give kudos to the job that Clay Holmes has done. There were many of us, me included, that never wanted to see Holmes allowed near a Yankee mound again, but he's been lights-out lately and obviously has Boone's confidence. And Cousins has just been phenomenal. He is pitching with an unbelievable amount of confidence right now. Looking forward to the next round. Go Yanks!
