"In a three-game series, especially, [Gerrit Cole] is Game 1." Harold explains why he believes Cole should be the Yankees' Game 1 starter over Cam Schlittler. #MLBTonight

Why is Harold Reynolds on MLB Network

Harold is wrong. Cam is the Ace and the best pitcher on the team.

In a 5 game series maybe. In a 7 game series most likely. In a 3 game series……. Hell no! I want my ace taking game. What a horrible take lol

Have the fourth best starter on the team start nice!

🤣

Are you friggin kidding ???

Stop it

I’m sorry, but Harold has had an atrocious stretch of takes recently

Wouldn’t fried be game 2 and Cole game 3?

Well then, you will lose game 1

OK, so what he’s saying isn’t completely moronic it’s his explanation that’s moronic what he should’ve said is you should save your best pitcher for an elimination game because if the Yankees win game one game two guess what you have your best pitcher pitching the next game

Oldheads be like “Stats? But the eye test!” before giving a horrible subjective eye test opinion

Good ole illiterate DEI hire Harold.

Cam is the Ace. Game 1 is Cam.

I thought the same, until this recent stretch of starts

If he was saying, save Schlittler for an elimination game or the DS, I think that’s a fair idea. But you have to start him 1 of the first 2 games because otherwise he can’t start 2 games in the DS on normal rest. And he needs to start 2 games in the DS.

Harold has never had intelligent takes.

The way he is pitching lately, he should be out of the starter rotation in a 3 game series.

As usual, Harold Reynolds shows that he knows nothing about baseball. Which is shocking for a former pro

You need you head examined. He cant be game one starter. Cole had two clunkers. He can't win against Boston.

Everything says start Cam game 1. He is the best pitcher and would allow him to go sooner if they move on. Why overthink it?

These people are morons

Y'all gotta shut down the network after this man wth am I listening too 😭

Harold’s an idiot so this tracks..

TERRIBLE take

As a diehard yankees fan I’m just disappointed that they can’t start Cole all 3 games of the wild card

Idiotic

I love Gerrit but its Cam

Cole is done as a starter. Start the transition to the bullpen. No more than 3 innings of work for him.

So we can give up multiple solo shots at any point? No thank you!

Cam is our ace. I get Cole’s track record and respect he has with the team, but the smartest move is Cam first no brainer
