Will they bounce back?

There will be no turn around with Cora.  He's cost them 5 games out of 9 with bad timing and choices in pitcher substitutions.  This has been happening since 2018 when he messed with Sale on many occasions.  The team needs a real manager.  You can't pick a manager based on their ability to speak two languages.  He needs to understand the game; he needs to be a top competitor not a guy who takes the easy way to success through cheating.  We need a manager who looks at the excitement that Duran brings at the top of the order and in centerfield and makes the right decisions about batting order and defensive positioning.  We see a guy like Rafaela hitting well like Campbell did last April and unlike what Cora does to enhance Abreu's career; Cora ignores the obvious success of Duran and treats him like Rafaela and Campbell.  Those three guys with Anthony are the best players in this organization that aren't pitchers.  If you have Duran (CF), Rafaela (RF), Anthony (LF), Story (SS), Yoshida (DH), Contreras (1B), Campbell (3B), Narvaez (C) Mayer (2B) as the line-up the team would produce more runs and player better defense for the pitchers.  Fairly evaluating talent is not a part of Cora's skill set.  But the most critical skill set he DOES NOT possess is handling a pitching staff.  The single most important change in a game is when to pull the starter and WHO to use in the situation.  Cora has failed at those two daily decisions since he arrived in 2018.  Like Devers on defense, all these years have gone by and Cora HAS NOT IMPROVED!!!!  Breslow must recognize the problem and deal with it in the same way he dealt with Devers. 

HE MUST LOSE CORA TO IMPROVE THE TEAM, JUST LIKE HE DID WITH DEVERS.
