Look: Gerrit Cole’s Dugout Meltdown Goes Viral

The New York Yankees were hoping Gerrit Cole could play the role of stopper today amid their disastrous stretch of baseball. But unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

After cruising through the first four innings, Cole ran into trouble int he fifth, and the Blue Jays were able to capitalize.

Thanks to a pair of doubles from Jackie Bradley Jr. and Alejandro Kirk, the Blue Jays were able to put up four runs against Cole in the fifth, effectively taking a 4-1 lead.

When Gerrit Cole came back to the dugout, he let out all of his frustrations. And cameras caught the whole tantrum.

Things aren’t going well in New York right now, and this weekend, manager Aaron Boone called on his players to start getting ‘ticked off’.

“We should be ticked off right now and we need to start playing better. Plain and simple,” Boone said in his postgame press conference Friday.

Despite the frustration boiling over for the Yankees, Boone has remained confident in his first place squad.

“You pour a lot into trying to shake hands at the end of the day, and we’ve been able to do that on balance on a really high clip this year. We’ve hit a rough patch and we’ve got to dig ourselves out,” Boone added, via ESPN. “We can sit here, and I can keep answering questions and talk about it … but we’ve got to go do it. And the good news is we’ve got all the pieces in that room to do that. I know that’s coming. I know it’s going to happen, but it really sucks going through it.”
