    You're right, most teams dont, but until Boston becomes more of an aggressive team, I think they will keep failing to win in the postseason.
  2. Dalas21000
    In addition to what I posted, lay a bunt down, steal a base, steal home.
  3. Dalas21000
    If that's the case, why didn't they keep Farrell? They can enjoy their record now, but when it comes to playoffs and big games, you need an aggressive coach that isn't afraid to lay down a bunt at the right time. Exactly what I would have done today, in the 9th when Oakland's pitcher was hurtin and couldn't run. I would have had Vasquez lay one down the 1st base line. If he gets on, you got Betts up next. Farrell was a passive coach as well. I was hoping Cora was different. Please don't say coaching don't matter. You can win some games without coaching, but you won't beat better teams without it, unless every team has bad/passive coaching.

    With Lin, last year, I didn't see a need to pickup Nunez like they did, but I cant complain about the depth they have.
  5. Dalas21000
    Hopefully after today, Cora will realize what he has in Lin......
  6. Dalas21000
    Lins been hitting well, especially today
  7. Dalas21000
    Jackie Bradley, hitting .209, leading off today???
  8. Dalas21000
    I agree, especially considering Farrels experience as a Pitching Coach etc, I think he did well in that area. I think Cora brings insight in other ways, but for Pitching changes, I don't think Farrell could have done any better. And I don't think Cora will be as precise in that area.
  9. Dalas21000
    If we were able have both that'd be awesome I think. But Cora probably wouldn't have come here just to be a hitting coach and Farrell had already been released.
  10. Dalas21000
    I'm not saying he's clueless, but why leave someone in the game any longer than you need to? From what I remember, Porcello had notoriously been about a 7 inning pitcher. Couldn't the bullpen have finished up the last 2?
  11. Dalas21000
    It didn't matter yesterday....But in a close game against a better team it will
  12. Dalas21000
    I'm starting to feel like Boston should have kept Farrell. I was the first person to bad mouth Farrell when he was in Boston, but I think he was more knowledgeable pitching wise. I don't think Cora knows when to pull a pitcher out exactly...I mean I would have pulled Porcello a run earlier than he was today. Thankfully, they scored enough runs to cover the mistake. Overall, I don't think Farrell was good enough to win another world series but he may have been better than Cora. I do think the team needs to adjust to not having Farrell as well. Overall, I think Farrell was a better fit as a manager because of his knowledge about handling pitching. I think Cora would be better as a hitting coach but its too late now I guess.

    We should have known this a long time ago when Fister threw a 1 hitter against Cleveland and looked good against Houston
  14. Dalas21000
    This is why Francona wins games, because he can make these kind of decisions
  15. Dalas21000
    It was obvious, but Farrell don't have the balls to make a move like that
  16. Dalas21000
    Fister Sale Pomeranz
  17. Dalas21000
    Fister gave them a pretty good game from what I can remember
  18. Dalas21000
    He should be...If Im not mistaken he pitched Houston well
  19. Dalas21000
    It seems Vazquez is a big spark to the offense....Seems like they're winning when Vazquez is in, losing when Leon is in.....
  20. Dalas21000
    Why does Farrell keep putting Leon(.237) in, when Vazquez(.294) is hitting so well lately?
  21. Dalas21000
    Time to see what this Lin guy has?
  22. Dalas21000
    I agree...I think he pitched much better as a starter last yr
  23. Dalas21000
    Why is Joe kelly not a starter???While Steven Wright is?.....
  24. Dalas21000
    Is this team just settling now that they won the division?Why are they not playing for home field??? Why did Farrell take Hembree out in tonight's(Thursday) game after 2 outs to bring in a guy that cant get the ball over the plate? Too many pitching changes
  25. Dalas21000
    Can someone teach Hanley how to play 1st base? I mean the seasons almost over and I dont think he knows how to put 1 foot to the bag and stretch......
