  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Only if they take back equal or more salary-- not likely.
  5. 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
  6. Well, Cora will go down as the Sox manager with the highest ring percentage (50%) in Sox history.
  7. Not jacko.
  8. 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.)
  9. Losing draft picks depends on evidence the Sox cheated under Cora- not what he did with Houston.
  10. Farther away, please!
  11. How about the first SP'er to go on the IL becomes the interim manager?
  12. LOL! Eck would push for Price trade.
  13. Holding the trash can was punishment enough.
  14. At least he's not on the 40 man roster... yet!
  15. The Astros investigation lasted months and months. How long has the Sox investigation gone on?
  16. Agreed. He's spoken nothing but truth.
  17. Depends how severe or provable our cheating was.
  18. Only if he retires, first and then we sign him as a manager/consultant for the same money spread out over 30 years. Lower the LUX TAX!
  19. I've avoided this thread until now. Suspend whoever you want for as long as you want, but please- no lost draft picks!
  20. We now have like 6 threads on this subject. Is Dick Williams still alive and dementia-free?
