Mike Francesa issues challenge to Yankees’ Gerrit Cole
Peter Ackermann | Asbury Park PressMike Francesa was taken by Max Scherzer’s Subway Series start on Wednesday. And he wants to see Gerrit Cole deliver something similar.
The WFAN legend praised Scherzer’s impact on the Mets during his latest BetRivers podcast. He also issued a challenge to the Yankees’ Cole in the same breath.
“You saw Scherzer’s worth, which is his weight in gold,” Francesa said. “He’s everything you want in a big game pitcher. He’s everything you want in an ace. He’s everything you want in a pitching leader. He’s the whole deal. He leads. He leads verbally, he leads by example and he steps up in the big spot. That’s an ace.
