Chris Shearn, Jeff Nelson and Jake Brown open the show talking about Gerrit Cole’s bad start Wednesday. They discuss Cole not pitching like an ace in a crucial game, his postgame reaction, what went wrong in Toronto, Nellie’s story on the Mariners’ playoff push in 1995 and frustrations with analytics. NY Post baseball columnist Ken Davidoff talks with the guys about Cole looking tired, the big Yankees-Rays series and the potential of a four-way tie in the wild-card standings. They then make their picks for which teams will get the two wild-card spots.
