Nestor Cortes knows exactly why the Yankees crushed him in return

Nestor Cortes blamed his horrible return to Bronx on a simple factor: Yankees know him better than anyone.

And on Saturday, they made him pay.

After the match, Cortes left the Yankee Stadium without speaking to journalists. Sunday morning, he admitted that it was a “brutal” afternoon.

“Five walks injured me a lot,” said Cortes. “I think they know what type of launcher I am and what I do and what) my strategy is. It is my fault for not having deviated from it.

The strategy for Yankees included the jump on the first Cortes throw, while Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger and Aaron all consider circuits on the fast panels of the first step to open the match.

“They had a plan and executed it well and I did not do it,” said Cortes. “They took an ambush. They know that I launch fast bullets, they know that I launch fast bullets often, and they know the location I am going. It was on me not to make the adjustment earlier – or all day – because the whole day was brutal for me. I will learn.

Cortes said he felt physically and was ready to go to his next departure after granting eight points – and five circuits – in two rounds during the 20-9 defeat at the Yankee Stadium.

All these statistics were careers for Lefty, which was exchanged in the Brewers during the offseason as part of a package in exchange for Closer Devin Williams.

“Obviously, when you allow eight points, it is not a good feeling ” said Cortes.” It did not go as I had planned. “”

He called her “a little bizarre” against his old team.

“I spent a few years there and I was able to be on their side and not to have to face them,” said Cortes. “It comes with the territory, as a major league launcher, you never know where you are going to find yourself. You are faced with someone you know. He turned out to be yesterday.”
