    If Sale had been healthy, does he even sign that extension? Older pitchers like Price and Greinke had landed much bigger ones not long before. I seem to recall Sale and Bogaerts both being extended because Mookie talks wouldn’t get done and they became consolation prizes…

    Ok. Let’s not do it. Short conversation…

    Duran and Story to SD for Jake Cronenworth and pitching prospects Kash Mayfield and Humberto Cruz.. Story and Cronenworth have similar money left…

    Cora is clearly reluctant to move players who do not play their position well. This goes back to Kike at shortstop…

    Or move him to San Diego; they collect shortstops over there…

    Cora was a lazy player? This is a ridiculous criticism for multiple reasons. Please explain the relationship between successful playing career and successful managing career. Then explain how Hall of Famer Tony LaRussa fits into that evidence …

    They also lead MLB in putouts. That’s another mark against error counts…

    Even if MLB changed the rule that merely touching third base counts as a run, it wasn’t enough. I think Benjamin Franklin summed it up perfectly. “There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes, and Trevor Story striking out with the tying run on second.” That last one probably didn’t make much sense at the time…

    Don’t worry about misunderstandings. I don’t understand anything…

    Maybe if Cora had a friend.? One with some corner infield experience who was maybe a little taller? Anyone leap to mind? Cant go with 4’7” Andrew Vaughn here if height is important…

    Me? Low baseball acumen? Excuse me? Actually thats a fair critique…

    San Diego was paring salary last year. If they just took Story, that might be enough. Plus San Diego might be able to use him; they seem to love moving shortstops off-position.

    Or play first base!

    Since 2018, the Sox are 442-431 under him. Not all of that is because Bregman got hurt. Whats Cora done to keep his job? He might be the most mediocre manager in MLB history. Every year he’s the one constant in another .500-ish season, and every season he gets bailed out by a litany of excuses. Maybe it’s time something stuck to Teflon Alex…

    Piggyback or not, that was the most bizarre hook I’ve ever seen. Perfect through 4 and yet not eligible Gomorrah the win through no fault of his own…

    Remember when he pulled Rich Hill when he gave up a single after he retired the first 14 batters in the game? Obviously a while ago, but very Classic Cora. Giolito the other day was more along the lines of what people are talking about…

    How come no one talks about Schiraldi as an obvious double agent? Think about it. (Or better yet, don’t.). Before the season, the Sox acquired him from the Mets. Than he gets a blown save at a very key moment against the Mets. And who goes on to win the title? The Mets! Coincidence? I mean, that actually would explain it. But how fun is that?
  21. notin
    Young started and ended that streak in the rotation, but a big chunk in the middle was spent as the Mets’ closer, so he came into the game with leads and would get credited with either saves or losses…
  22. notin
    And maybe not be called a save. Im almost positive the winning pitcher Littleton nailed it down for that day was old friend Kason Gabbard…
  23. notin
    That’s not possible. After one blown save, he’d have been in line for the win. The only way that could happen is if the pitcher blew a save, was moved to another position, his team retook the lead while someone else was on the mound (and in line for the win), and he was brought in to pitch again. I have never heard of this happening…
  24. notin
    I find it amusing when pitchers are credited with blown saves before the sixth inning, which does happen . Think about what has to happen there…
  25. notin
    The record goes to Rangers RHP Wes Littleton, who was awarded a save in a game Texas won 30-3. Littleton had to have ice water in his veins in order to go a full hour without giving up a week’s worth of runs..
