    You think that he stands any chance at all of getting an offer that pays him anywhere even close to what we are paying him?
  2. cp176
    He rubbed his own nose in it last night!
  3. cp176
    I knew exactly what you meant and I agree with you.
  4. cp176
    If the Rays only can manage 4 hits again tonight, I like our chances. The odds are with us.
  5. cp176
    Absolutely because Sale is what 29 and makes less than 13. Now I realize that that still is a fair sum of money and I really think that this guy is about a lot of other things than money but If continues on the path that he has been on for quite some time now, I hope he gets his payday accordingly. I hope Boston finds a way to keep him. We are very fortunate to have certainly one of the very best in the game pitching for us.

    He had some issues yesterday for sure. My biggest concern with him might be that everyone considers him to be a "player's coach" and that means different things to different people. Somewhere along the line he is going to have to make decisions that not everybody is going to like. He doesn't have to be an ******* about it but if he gets to close too the people he has to deal with it will be tougher.

    He does know what it is like to play in Boston for sure and I hope everything works out well for him and I think that it will. Still there is a big difference between playing and managing particularly here. What ever he does he will always be under the microscope and he will be second guessed at every turn. I have never really had much confidence in Joe Kelly but Cora has to show a little faith in the guys he has regardless of we think. I'm looking at this differently - 4 hits 6 runs should not happen. Against the Rays, Kelly and Smith should have been able get through one inning. I see it as being on them for the most part.

    He is doing very well I guess. He makes more than Chris Sale.

    had to be that goddam Luchino don't you think.

    Good post and very true! If we had won that game yesterday though I'm on safe ground with this opinion - There were still things that would have gotten criticized by some. Someone regardless of the score would have been critical of the following: baserunning blunders (whether they were or not) Ramirez - 0 for whatever so we need to sit him down so the option doesn't vest Martinez - waste of money - look at Stanton Why have Poyner even up if you aren't going to use him JBJ is still in a slump Should have kept Sale in for one more inning should have held Nunez at second because of his fragile knee Vazquez surly can't catch a cold Nunez sucks in the field (even though the only errors I think were made by Vazquez) his range may not be great but he made the plays. Welcome to the World of managing in New England Alex Cora. I'm kind of chuckling right now but it is who we are up here. We care about our teams and yes we have a lot to be thankful for. Yesterday sucked for sure but we got tonight!

    Hey - easy with number 2 - many of us are still on top of the flowers
  12. cp176
    at least the 10th - It has been written
  13. cp176
    I hope Alex knew what he was getting himself into when he signed his contract. He should have for sure.
  14. cp176
    I agree with both of you two to an extent. Tough calls to make I think. A shorter leash for Kelly I guess but Cora has to figure this out as he goes along. Regardless of all the hype and positives that we feel for him, the bottom line for me anyway is that he is still a first year manager. He has to find out for himself what these guys can do. Spring training doesn't help much in this regard. I will say though that Joe Kelly has always made me a little nervous. Also, and you two guys know this as well as anyone, even if we had won the game there would have been plenty of people complaining about this and that. - Vazquez - the base running - whatever.

    Was there something dramatically wrong with the way Barnes pitched yesterday? Did I miss something?
  16. cp176
    We always tried to convince our kids that it wasn't good to ever get to up or to down over a game. Stay steady. I had a hard time buying into this way of looking at things myself. Yesterday - the first game of a season that we hope is filled with good things. A game that we were dominating what looked for the longest time to be a much weaker team. First game - you get through it but boy oh boy this one was painful.
  17. cp176
    I'm confused here. Sale was dominant through 6 innings - 92 pitches I think. Barnes pitched the 7th clean. Smith and Kelly s*** the bed. Did you want Sale to pitch the 7th and then go back out for the 8th? That would have put him well over 100 pitches likely! Not happening on the first start of the new season.
  18. cp176
    somebody blew him up during the winter
  19. cp176
    If they are really hurting for a catcher right now, I don't think there would be any question which of those 2 guys they would want - Leon the finished product.
  20. cp176
    Great start for Sale! no one too surprised I bet - right about now I'm thinking he is just rip s*** pissed that he walked 3 batters.
  21. cp176
    come on MVP - we are liking some Devers in the field right now.
  22. cp176
    Devers is just a natural with that bat. I liked how he looked on that first chance in the field.
  23. cp176
    so I'm thinking Nunez knee must be feeling pretty good!!!
  24. cp176
    Sale looks like well SALE
  25. cp176
    Got to take a walk to loosen up. In the final countdown .
