I'd rather try him than Peraza, but we already signed JP. He'd be a good depth signing with hope of a return to glory.
-
The H-A records are not significant. If cheating happened, it will be punished. Besides, nobody knows if these teams figured out ways to cheat electronically on the road, too. It's not like people admit to everything.
-
Yes, I mentioned that in earlier posts. Even a minor second offense could bring stiff punishment to set an example. I get that, but I still think the degree of the second offense (that must be proven) plays into the type of punishment we will receive.
-
Hinch heard the banging of the trash can every home game. He's more culpable than some seem to think he is.
-
One has to wonder, if Cora (or Hinch) told on other teams while being questioned.
-
It sounds like the banging of the trash can went on all game long during home games.
-
I don't doubt he was the mastermind, but I'm thinking just about what happened with the Sox. What he did in Houston will affect his punishment but not the Sox punishment. Only what happened with the Sox will count towards their punishment.
-
I live near Houston, and the talk radio is full of people doubting Altuve, Springer and others' recent success. "Did they know the exact pitch that as coming..." One host even said this might cast doubt on HOF induction for some.
-
I missed the news of his waiver.
-
People telling on themselves and making themselves look like cheaters is not something I expect will happen, often, but when players move from one club to another, which happens more often than the old days, you know they tell their new team what their old team is doing (illegally) to try and beat them. Those who get caught are the ones that do much or most of the "squealing."
-
By not stopping it, Hinch "condoned it." He's the manager, and he knew it was going on. What the Sox have done or not done is still be investigated. So far, we only have allegations. It does not look good, but we don't know exactly (proven) what the Sox did. Like the Astros, I doubt the higher ups would know, or they shielded themselves sufficiently, as they nearly always do. The second offense does carry a lot of weight, but it also depends on how much they can prove and just how bad it was. If, for example, it's way lessof an infraction than the Astros situation was, does the fact that it was a second offense make the punishment similar? There's a lot that is hard to know, right now, but things look real bad for Cora. The Sox situation is still up in the air, but it looks like it's heading for a crash.
-
While I'm certain Cora will be hit hard, the key word in this quote is "allegations," so the fate of penalties against the Sox is still somewhat in question, although it looks pretty bad on the surface.
-
Yes, or more.
-
We don't know for sure what the Sox did. Yes, 2nd offense will make the punishment more severe, but it does matter how bad what the Sox did was and how certain the charge is. No question, Cora might get the biggest punishment of all, based on what he did in HOU plus whatever in BOS, but I'm not so sure the Sox team will get hit as hard as the Astros did.
-
Or less.
-
Only if they take back equal or more salary-- not likely.
-
The Giants- the only team to rival the Sox with WS victories, recently (3 in 5 years not too long ago) have a lot of dead weight and overpaid players, even after losing Bumgarner. Posey owed $45M+/2 Cueto owed $47M+/2 Longoria $59M/3 Samardzija $19.8M/1 B Belt $34.4M/2 Crawford $30.3M/2 Cozart $12.7M/1
-
Well, Cora will go down as the Sox manager with the highest ring percentage (50%) in Sox history.
-
Not jacko.
-
I did that as a teacher, but if a student was honest enough and said I marked something right that was wrong, and yes this happened often, I would not take points off. (Maybe that's why they brought it up so often.)
-
Losing draft picks depends on evidence the Sox cheated under Cora- not what he did with Houston.
-
Maybe we can get Hinch next year! -
Farther away, please!

Who Will Be The Red Sox Manager in 2020?

How about the first SP'er to go on the IL becomes the interim manager? -

LOL! Eck would push for Price trade.
