Ahead of Gerrit Cole, Jameson Taillon who were teammates with New York the team that wears the pinstripes opposing each other on the mound Gerrit Cole had this to say about Jameson Taillon!

My longest friend in the game, probably my best friend in the game,”I can’t root against him. And I don’t really want to root less for him. So I’m probably just going to try to not think about it. But I will sneak a few — I’ll definitely watch him.

“I enjoyed pitching against Justin [Verlander] and Charlie [Morton] in the past and other ex-teammates. Jamo’s just a little different, because we were in Pirate City [the Pirates minor league complex in Bradenton, Fla.] together to start it all off. So I’m just hoping it’s a good day.”

Obviously, I was upset. I feel like amongst all the starters, I’ve been the workhorse here,”“Once [Gerrit] Cole went down, they picked me to be the Opening Day starter; not necessarily the No. 1, but the Opening Day starter. I had to switch my routine there, and now they do this.

Get the latest from the YankeesI’m never going to back down from a challenge. I’m never going to leave my teammates out to dry. You’re always going to get my best effort, no matter if I’m happy or not. That’s what I did today.
