It might not be poor judgement though. The guy could be a seemingly stand up citizen with no indication that he was involved in drugs.
-
No one flat out said he is guilty. There were a few, including yourself, who made comments presuming he was guilty.
-
I kind of like the fact that winning the division has become more important. IMO, the division winner should have an easier road to the playoffs than a wildcard winner. The problem is with the disparity between the divisions. There is something inherently wrong with a possible 100+ game winner being a wildcard team while a division winner in another division might only win 90 games. Honestly, I don't know what solution is.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
Kimmi replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
As I've already said, I agree with the majority that Cora made the wrong decision in keeping Wright in as long as he did. That said, even though the pen still had to pitch 5.2 innings in that game, that's a hindsight fact. I can understand Cora's thinking in hoping to get another couple innings out of Wright. And the fact that the pen also had to pitch 5 inning the next night gives some credence to that line of thinking, doesn't it? -
It depends on what other teams are looking specifically at Britton. I think that other teams can probably outbid us. That said, if another team takes Britton, there should still be good relief help available at a price that we can afford.
-
That last statement was not directed at you Oldtimer, though I can understand why you thought it was. My apologies. IMO, you are one of the more rational and level headed posters here. I have no beef with your criticism of Cora.

Good point. Maybe Cora takes Wright out of the game sooner if Sale or Porcello were pitching the next day. -
The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
Kimmi replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
A manager cannot go all out to try to win every game at any cost. Maybe he can do that in September, but not in June. I disagreed with Cora's decision to leave Wright in, but at the same time, I think his decision to do so is defensible, as I think most manager's decisions are. -
Seattle is now at a mere +12 run differential. They have no business being in the same conversation as the Astros, the Red Sox, or the Yankees. That said, they have a good chance of making the wildcard game because of the lack of competition after the above 3 teams and Cleveland.
-
Ha. Actually, I did watch the game. Unfortunately, or fortunately?, I had the Phillies feed. I really would have liked to hear Cone's rant though. OTOH, I now know why the Yankees pitching has been so good. They're cheaters, trying to use scuffed up balls to pitch with. LOL David Robertson, I'm looking at you.
-
Yes, they did.
-
I don't agree with your statement that Hanley brought this onto himself if he did not have any knowledge that the guy was dealing drugs.
-
Fair enough.
-
I agree with everything you said here. I think the posters here are very knowledgeable about the game and the reason we come here is to comment on such things. I really don't have any problems with people questioning Cora's decisions. As you said, all managers make mistakes. I question his decisions too, though I will likely defend his decisions more times than not. My only beef is this. Saying that you think Cora made a mistake is one thing. Implying that Cora does not understand the game or does not have certain baseball knowledge because he made a mistake is a completely different thing.
-
Hoping that Hanley would be cleared and prejudging his guilt are not mutually exclusive.
-
You are assuming that Hanley had any knowledge of his friend's scumbag drug dealing. If Hanley did have such knowledge, then I would agree with you. I'm going to give Hanley the benefit of the doubt.
-
You are once again correct in your observations.
-
No, but her headline was that Hanley was 'being eyed'. That's more or less the same thing.
-
OTOH, if Hanley rebounded from his horrible May back to his April numbers, his fWAR could get much better.
-
Oh please. A lot of people immediately believed the worst about Hanley.
-
It's possible that there might still be more coming out about Hanley's involvement, but it also sounds like McPhee is just trying to cover her butt for potentially harming a good man's reputation and character.
-
According to Hanley, he is currently not signed by another team by his choice. That makes sense to me. All I'm saying is that I hope that no team would choose not to sign him based on these apparently false accusations.
-
If you are talking about a very high level in terms of competitiveness, that is a false statement. If you are talking about a very high level in terms of advanced age, you may may be correct.
-
I would put Girls Softball ahead of Teeball, but other than that, I'd agree.
-
Believe it or not, I got all of that as it was unfolding.
