NEW YORK — Gerrit Cole slammed the dugout railing in frustration and let holler four angry letters.
His agitation — Cole had just been pulled after a sluggish Subway Series start in which he surrendered six earned runs on three homers — was echoed by the home half of the Yankee Stadium crowd. They booed, with a sense of lost desperation, as their ace shuffled off the pitching mound in the Yankees’ 19th loss in their past 28 games.
The other half of the yard, wearing royal blue and orange, roared in jubilation.
