And in my opinion, DD deserves much credit for hiring Cora, and Bloom deserves much credit for re-hiring him. -
The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term
Bellhorn04 replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
How many times have we seen a pitcher turn it around when he goes to another team? The acquiring team might have noticed a mechanical flaw in his delivery, or they might recommend he throw his changeup more etc. Sometimes one little tweak is all it takes. And if it turns out the guy is just cooked, you haven't lost much. -
And his worst month is .793. Good thing the whole season counts. The bottom line as of now is, JD is having a fine bounceback season, but in spite of that, Turner was the better signing. Everybody wins.

We're all crybabies about something.
-
It really is a feel-good story, but it's disappointing they haven't covered it in the Globe.
-
No, I think it's great that Bloom put some money in their pockets by taking Diekman off the books.
-
You would certainly know that, as a charter member of the Bloom Defense Team.
-
Nice try!
-
The rewards are not monetary, they come from the knowledge of being right. :D

Considering that we're still way under the threshold this year, it appears that this year's share of the $5 mill went toward some upgrades on JH's yacht.
-
To me, McGuire is an adequate backup catcher who has to keep a suitcase packed. I'm still not convinced of his defensive value. He's an average hitter-for a catcher.
-
Man, you really liked that Diekman trade. Sometimes I get the feeling you'd put it right up there with the Pedro trade.
-
Duran did homer off a lefty yesterday. Cora is handling it all perfectly as usual.
-
That's fine, but having a good baseball mind is not a prerequisite for being a MassLive writer.

I'm with Max. You can call us the Cora Defense Team. -
You're a ticking time bomb.
-
Total straw man argument, moon. Last year Average Sox Fan was pissed because: a) They traded Vazquez. Their "big acquisitions" were Hosmer and Pham. c) They finished 6 games under .500 and in last place for the 5th time in 11 years. All of which is consistent with the idea that they'll be pissed again if they have a shot at the playoffs and trade Paxton.
-
Cora did pretty well in 2021 too, when they knocked out the Yankees and heavily favored Rays, and were 2 wins from the World Series.
-
I refuse to believe the Sox will trade Paxton if they're still in the hunt. Fans are pissed off enough as it is.
-
I've always been a Cora supporter. It's Bloom I've gone back and forth on.
-
So let me get this straight - even if the Sox are a game out of a playoff spot or better at the deadline, you would trade Paxton? I'm surprised, because you were one of the ones opposed to a fire sale last year.
-
We've won 6 of 7, and 5 of those were against good teams. We've scored 17 runs the last 2 games. I don't get the bellyaching about Cora's lineup management right now.
-
And if the team stays on a good run like the one they're on now? Still trade Paxton? I say no. Everything depends on what happens in the next 3 weeks.
-
So I see this thread has devolved into the usual random gibberish. Excellent!

Yes, lack of self-awareness is a big part of the stupid package.
