Breaking news: Gerrit Cole is human.

In Game 1 of the 2019 World Series, the Nats touched up Cole for five runs. He still went seven, but it was a gritty, gutty seven innings, and not Cole-esque. Game 1 also wasn't kind to fellow starter Max Scherzer, who lasted just five innings up and gave up two runs before turning the ball over to Washington's bend-don't-break bullpen.

You know who might not be human? Juan Soto, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and a big double in the affair at just 20 years of age. He hit a baseball onto the gosh darn train tracks in Minute Maid Park, an opposite-field feat that not many mere mortals can accomplish.

Game 2 pits Justin Verlander and Stephen Strasburg against one another, but if Game 1 was any indication, reputation means nothing.
