A biography for Gerrit Colehasn’t been written yet.
“You don't want to let the other team feed off your outward physical demeanor. But at the same time, you can't go out and play this game and not expect to just be angry and be competitive and be excited and have that fire in your belly.”
“It feels good to be able to contribute, eat innings, provide some rest for the bullpen.”
“I've always just kind of prided myself on just taking the ball and just trying to give your team a chance to win, and I really don't try to make it any more complicated than that.”
“You never want to be in a bases-loaded, no-outs position, but dammit, when you're there, you better enjoy it. You better not sit there and sulk about it. You better rise up and figure it out.”
“You try not to pay too much attention to the hype before the game, because you never know what's going to happen.”
“I'm a sucker for Wrigley, so I feel I'll probably be a sucker for Fenway, too.”
“You've got to try to close every inning out, take it one inning at a time, one batter at a time.”
“I try to show up and do my job and get my work in every day, keep pressing forward.”
“Altuve is just so good at that. He can decide halfway to the plate where he's going to place the ball. I've never seen that kind of talent before in my life, and I don't know if I'll ever see it again.”
“Well, I mean, I like to be pretty athletic off the mound in terms of taking care of my job, which is covering first base, fielding bunts in certain situations, fielding slow rollers to the first base and having to communicate and direct traffic.”
“You have more of an opportunity than people think to impact a game through the tone that you can set. You can't control everything, setting that tone is important.”
“You know in a playoff atmosphere anything can happen.”
“You get into a tough spot where you're not feeling good and you can't do what you're typically accustomed to doing, you just keep grinding.”
“I had a great time at school. The experience was quite fulfilling, especially going to the World Series.”
“I certainly wouldn't pay for a ticket to watch a math equation.”
“Any opportunity to throw against the Cardinals is going to be a good one.”
“If I'm not going to make the pitch, then so be it. I'm not going to try to manipulate the ball or muscle the ball over the plate where I want it to go.”
“We definitely like to celebrate the wins, that's for sure.”
“Base runners in postseason games are kind of tough to deal with at times.”
“A lot of these dips that you go through in the season, it's about persisting through the process and trusting it.”
