From Jim Bowden:
According to source, Gerrit Cole has been recommended to have TJ surgery… but they are now waiting for a 2nd opinion to confirm the diagnosis #Yankees
As someone joked, the most hopeful they’ve been about the whole process is that Jim Bowden is saying its TJS.
But, well, you know, it’s almost certainly TJS now, so THAT sucks.
Brian, I know what you mean, but I don’t know that rooting works that way – “okay, they’re injured, now I just want them to do okay for an injured team.”
Also, although the Cole injury sounds like a killer, in this case their pitching is so good they can really survive that. It’s the seriously insufficient offense that’s the killer, and that was true before the injuries, which really haven’t seriously changed our outlook on that problem (in fact, without irony, DJLM being unavailable could be seen as a plus).
