  1. No one has said that the team has won "in spite" of the manager. That is the making up s*** part.
  2. Coaches need to work on this.
  3. Our coaches are just out there to collect equipment.
  4. And he is overpaid just at his salary.
  5. That is one tough outfield for Kiermeier to get played like that.
  6. Remy is highlighting this as an area that needs improvement.
  7. The problem with our roster is not Hanley. It is the inexplicable 2 year contract for Moreland. We don't need him.
  8. No Dumpster Diving is needed.
  9. Red Sox lineup: 1. Betts RF 2. Benintendi LF 3. Ramirez 1B 4. Martinez DH 5. Bogaerts SS 6. Devers 3B 7. Núñez 2B 8. Bradley Jr. CF 9. Vázquez C Price LHP
  10. If the mistake directly resulted in the loss, I don't see how he doesn't share responsibility for the loss.
  11. He made a mistake that cost them game 1. He didn't act like a "blithering idiot" for the entire game. Acknowledging a mistake doesn't condemn Cora. Managers make mistakes. Just because he managed well the next 5 games doesn't convert his mistake into a correct move. That is not a logical thesis.
  12. Has anyone said this ^. Stop making up s***.
  13. and maybe that is BS... just sayin.
  14. What is the word on Thornburg's progress?
  15. Great start to the season!
  16. The statistical charts call for it so it must be.
  17. Advanced metrics say that he is just a meh fielder.
  18. It's the new breed of managerial stupidity.
  19. And he can shoot the 3.
  20. Especially dumb in light of the fact that he found his power stroke yesterday.
  21. The Red Sox also groomed Butch Hobson to be a manager.
  22. You can never have enough pitching.
  23. Why do I get the feeling that you will continue to argue about game 1 until game 162, unless everyone agrees with you. Argue away. Cora made a mistake in game 1. It wasn't Kelly's day. He just didn't have it. His mother probably could have told Cora to get him out of there after the second walk. Managers make plenty of mistakes. You tend to think that any criticism of a managerial move is a complete condemnation of the manager as evidenced by the last sentence of your post about Cora being "a solid pick." No one has said otherwise, but he screwed the pooch in game 1, which is in the rear view mirror after a 4-1 start. There is plenty of inexplicable managerial stupidity in dugouts throughout the major leagues. Cora doesn't have the market cornered on that aspect. Hey, maybe he left Kelly in, because he didn't have anyone warming in his bullpen.
  24. I didn't see Quintana's game, but I did watch Schwarber help take an axe to Lester's game, but you are right that it is impressive against any major league team. Pitching was the strength of this team last season, and it will be the strength this season too.
  25. I am tempering my enthusiasm because the Rays and Marlins have terrible lineups. If they do anything close to this against the Yankees, I will be pretty excited.
