Two outfield assists at home plate this game or Cole's on the very wrong end of the score. 


I can't figure out Cole this year.  He is just too hittable.  Is he just not able to hit spots consistently this season?




Clint sends him out in the 7th.



Hit #11 is a HR. 3-2.



Hit #12 finally gets Cole the hook.

I realize this is going to come across as a spitting-fire hot take, but ... not an ace. Thinks he's an ace. Been told by Boras he's an ace. Aces don't give up 24 total hits in the span of six days.

It's so refreshing to watch Taillon pitch because he walks so few runners and gets a lot of easy outs. Cole just doesn't seem to be able to replicate that.

Woohooo. Marlins flop around on defense and the Bucs back tied with a few in scoring position in the 7th!

Not only is Cole not an ace, he's no better than #3 on this staff. I sure wouldn't want him pitching the WC

Jung Ho sort of manufactures the tying run.



Josh and Starling each deliver an RBI and the Buccos are suddenly up 5-3.



In Philly the Cardinals get the lead off man on down 3-1.
