I would go with with Francona being number 1 and Dick Williams being number 2. If Cora stands the test of time and deals with the issues that always come up when things don't go as planned, I'm thinking that he could become historic. I will say that even though based on the record and because of the type of person that he is, I go with Francona but it isn't without some reservation. I might be the only one here who feels uncomfortable with the way he left Boston regardless of whether all the reasons were right. Although I like chicken and beer immensely, that incident did not sit well with me. I think that Cora might be tougher than we think behind the closed doors. DD has brought in some wonderful guys with respect to overall attitude and approach but I also think that Cora has had a great impact in who is currently playing and who has and is being brought in.

Agree

It would be good if all people would stick to the facts at all times but it seems to me that more often then not people want you to stick to the facts if they disagree with your opinion. Opinions are not always determined my facts. Often there are just not enough facts to gather to support either side. If I had to take a position on this one, I would certainly side with OH FOY. Definite facts don't support either side. Most of what is said here cannot be supported by facts. I say that well knowing that our quantifiers would disagree.

WS Road Games--who makes room for JDM?
cp176 replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I would absolutely be stunned if Mookie plays one inning at second base during this World Series. I don't think that we are apt to see any types of changes from what has been fairly successful to this point. i like JBJ just as much as the next guy but I'm thinking that he will sit down when we don't have the dh position to use. We'll scrape by once again I think. lol Hey I have been stunned before though. -
I'm not sure how personal feelings about Manny have turned in to a discussion about who the better manager is or was. I would also like to think that Cora has at least to coach a few more years before we get in to that discussion. Regardless of my feeling that Manny was a buffoon I'll readily admit that he was a hitting machine and delivered when we needed delivering. I don't think that Cora would wish in a million years that he had Manny Ramirez to deal with right now. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't smell even a remote whiff of a court jester on this team.

Hey notin nice attempt to pat yourself on the back but you'd be surprised to know I bet how many people including some of us here think that Farrell is a good bright baseball guy. You certainly aren't alone. I actually would be interested to know what you do know about the actual game of baseball and the way it is played on the field. I'm kind of a reverse condescender I guess. I'll give you some credit but safe to say not as much as some folks here do. I'm not trying to start anything here so don't think that I am. I was actually trying to make a little joke but probably I missed the mark. Sometimes I think that people really can't possibly take themselves as seriously as they do. Personally I don't take myself very seriously ever unless I am competing whether it is playing or coaching.
-
Not sure where you are going here. Have to say though that I don't really pay too much attention to the lives that any of these guys lead off the field. i of course route for the hometeam but none of them really meant too much to me.
-
Come on notin - you would have to swear to this and have it notarized before I'd believe it. lol
-
Oh I suppose I shouldn't say much because even though I thought he was an nitwit, he still could swing that bat. I fully recognize his value and immense talent but whatever I was and still am a huge Clemens fan. Doesn't make any difference to me whether he was a juicer or not.
-
Based on many of the comments that I read here, if you took a vote it might come out 51-49. People tolerate Cora because we are winning, but really you think the brilliant minds that we see here everyday would ever just say that Cora is a better baseball guy than they might be. Come on Bellhorn, you know better.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
cp176 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
that's one of the reasons why i like cora. he gets it. take advantage of a blend of all to make it work. -
Thinking about it in a serious way, are there really people here who think that he has any chance of ending up in Boston. Take a look at this current team. Think about the players that have been brought in. Doesn't make any difference how good he is - too much baggage - I say 0 chance (hope I'm right).
-
Pedroia gets no free pass from me. Regardless of how tough people think he is or how hard he plays, i don't think that you would see one player on this team dong what he did. That's about it. hey - he was very good for sure and I get why some say don't ever count him out but we did just fine without him and if I had to bet that is likely how we will operate going forward - without him and that is ok with me.
-
which knee was it that you hurt once again Manny? The other one - ok.
-
You know what - as good as Mookie is in the field we still expect him to be that guy at the plate everytime he gets up but I have to say that that throw he made to nail kemp at second base was a game changer. You just don't see better throws than that one. I'd also add that even though we want our catchers to hit a little better they were in no way over shadowed by what his name behind the plate for the Astros. he was supposed to provide them with an advantage over our guys. he did not- Our two catchers really did play well. Hats off to them.

I hate google. It has a way of messing up some of my greatest memories about all the things I misremember!

i like eovaldi as a starting pitcher too much to stick him in the pen full time
-
Let's hear it for Baltimore right ss. The good news is that these guys don't seem to care that much about the naysayers. It seems to motivate them. Eovaldi - 101.6 last night to Bregman. For such a great player have to say he was over matched in that at bat.
-
I don't think there is any question about pitcher's careers being shortened back in the day. It is a big money issue now obviously.
-
We do disagree with Manny a little I guess but I have to say he was one of the all time great right handed hitters. I just saw him as being someone who required too much work. I respect how you feel about him and thanks for not going all pyscho on me for expressing a very unpopular opinion on here. It is the way people should communicate I think.
-
That was a classic. I almost lost control and had another beer (not unusual) when i saw 96 pop up on the gun. I'm pulling hard for him.
-
You done good. Though I have to tell you I am one of the most naive older people that you could meet.
-
now that is a good one. I'm feeling younger and younger.

How did you know they are one in the same?
