  1. He also doesn't seem able to make a team play above their capabilities. You're never all that surprised by how a Cora team is playing unless it's by how much they are underperforming.
  2. "You know, I don't really know." That's the right answer for me. I don't care if my ballplayers talk in circles. They don't need to be great orators.
  3. Henry is a 🧛‍♂️ and needs to be kept as far away from the players as possible. The calming effect is just a charm spell.
  4. They liked him and believed he had value. It apparently didn't work out?
  5. Cora is a good coach, but needs strong veterans on the team. Once it went into a rebuild, they needed someone else running the show. He just isn't able to effectively manage young guys. The Sox have been at the bottom of the standings in errors no matter who they put on the field. The Sox never looked completely prepared. For example, the Sox are dead last in ABS challenges and seemingly are scared to challenge or have no idea when or why to challenge.
  6. The problem with Cespedes is that he doesn't have a defensive home. He's a short DH. There's really not much projection. If he's not tearing up the low minors like the Martian was, there's not enough meat on the bone to really care about. Castro is 22 and in AAA. He's started slow after every jump. Bleis is a different story.
  7. They intentionally seclude him away from the public and the press so that he doesn't "put his foot in his mouth" (aka say what he really thinks). I think he cares. I think his opinions go against Sox PR spin, so they need to keep him away.
  8. It's a pretty short season for a lot of fans that will just be tuning out before Memorial Day.
  9. Just because you like Tek the player doesn't mean he's a good coach.
  10. The pitching was much better without Devers. That was the real difference maker. The overall wRC+ was about the same with or without Devers. Roman basically replaced his production. This year, Roman has taken a step backwards.
  11. 7/1/25 - EOY 14th wRC+ 2nd BABIP 7th SB 8th Runs 23rd K%
  12. Valera getting a second opinion on his MRI… 🫠
  13. Bennett scratched from WOO start today. Heading to TOR maybe for Bello?
  14. Whatever happens with the Sox is now entirely due to Brez. Not sure he's going to dodge anything. Managing the Sox shouldn't be a lifetime gig.
  15. The interim status will hold through the end of the year and then they'll re-evaluate. Chad Tracey will probably keep the manager's title and he'll get to pick his own staff.
  16. "Managers have no culpability!"
  17. Half of the current Sox have played for Trace before. I think it's just uncomfortable for Story because he was buddies with Cora.
  18. Big 6 game sample there for Duran. He had a 323 OBP there last season and 341 OBP leading off two years ago.
