The timing of the Red Sox' current free fall is really bad. Of course it seems like making a big splash at the deadline or failure to do so is the reason behind the way the month of August has gone. This is the same team that looked so great up until the ASB. If the team is so fragile that their inability to win is based on this, then they were never really that good a team to begin with. Getting someone like Rizzo would not have made the difference.
If Cora cannot get this team turned around from their adversity, then maybe it's time for me to rethink my opinion of Cora's positive impact on the team.
