Cora has done a very good job with a team that really wasn't that talented. Agree about the hitting coach: all year these guys have had zero plate discipline, swinging at balls a foot outside the zone or in the dirt.
Its tough to win important games when you really aren't that talented.
I can live with Pivetta as long as we have 4 SPs better than him. And I agree with you: I was ready to hold my nose all season with this team but they were entertaining for most of it. They way overperformed. I didn't expect them to get this far.
This is pathetic. We are about to get blown out by another awful team. All we had to do to get the WC #1 was beat the Orioles and the Nats-and we couldn't do it. We are of the same quality as those losers.
