I think people are overstating how much Cora bungled game 1. I think he was fine that game. He had back to back relievers s*** the bed. Hard to manage around that.
It's also swapping JBJ's glove for Mitch Moreland's bat. Not really excited about that option. This move really only makes sense if there's organizational OF depth.
I'm concerned with 19 because some posters can't stop talking about a window that may or may not exist. I can't see how you can complain about a window closing, but want to spend $20M on Hanley next year.
I agree. One of my concerns last year was how Farrell handled the Pedey and Price situations. The clubhouse seems to be in a better place this year under Cora.
In order to win the division, you still have to beat the below .500 teams. Discounting the wins when the offense isn't firing on all cylinders is definitely pushing it. Sox fans should be happy about the start.
