In the bottom of the fourth inning of Game 4 of the ALDS between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians, Josh Naylor got a fastball from Gerrit Cole down in the zone that he didn't miss, sending it over the right center field wall. 

As he began rounding the bases, Naylor was screaming and doing the "rock the baby" celebration that he has done in the past in the direction of Cole and didn't stop until he hit home plate to cut the Yankees' lead to 3-2. 

Naylor also seemed to be saying that Cole was his "little f---ing son" as he rounded the bases.

The Yankees would go on to win the game and Cole would toss 110 pitches over seven innings to secure the 4-2 win, doing exactly what the Yankees needed to send the series back to the Bronx for Game 5. 

After the game, Cole scoffed at the question of his thoughts on the Naylor celebration. 

"Whatever. It's cute," he said.

"I just was made aware of it. I didn’t see it in the moment. It wouldn’t have bothered me in the moment and it just is kinda funny."

Manager Aaron Boone was asked the same question to which he smiled. 

"We can’t get caught up in that, we’re trying to win," he said.
