So does the case against him rests on the theory she was texting about black snails and auto correct changed it? Ok but at what point do you say “ We’ll we don’t know everything so maybe he’s still guilty” and at least acknowledge he was suspended for over a full season already, possibly while being innocent? Right now the case against him isn’t even on the level of “Where’s there smoke…”. And even it if is, sometimes Where’s there’s smoke, there’s fire. But sometimes it’s just some guy vaping…
-
But this is being forced to work with the same manager. Did Dombrowski want to fire Farrell but was told not to? Was Bloom forced to re-hire Cora? Or were these both cases of letting the new CBO do his job the way he wanted?
-
It’s not a question about Cora or his abilities. It’s the situation that - before even getting hired - the new guys hands are tied on certain matters…
-
Ok what did he do wrong? You don’t want to turn this into “he’s guilty!! I know he’s guilty! All we need now is a crime to charge him with.”
-
At some point he is innocent until proven guilty, right?
-
I hated the game playoff. 162 games and then one anti-climactic game and suddenly it’s just over. I like the new format much better..
-
No but next year, if the Sox are losing, who will be at fault? Will the CBO have the ability to fire Cora? OT does he just immediately get sacked while Cora has diplomatic immunity? Or does this all change at Henry’s whim, in which case this is a much worse situation than I thought, with Henry becoming a modern day George Steinbrenner (but without all the winning)…
-
Not talking about Bloom. I’m saying this creates an issue when the new guy (whoever he is) isn’t allowed to bring in his own manager…
-
The GM is always the fall guy when he is actually fully in charge. They’re giving the new guy the opportunity to blame Cora of things don’t work out…
-
Flim Flam Sam?
-
Sorry. Dgalehouse is right. Let the new GM hit his own manager. Otherwise if things do not work out, it’s a blame game…
-
Not so much the 14 year sample size as it was the way he subtly discredited attempts to lengthen it…
-
So then you shake your interns by hand! Like how Millard Fillmore used to do it!
-
Wooly Bully!

Ok so maybe a Henry is opposed to long term big money contracts. Well, the Sox need starting pitching. And it just so happens there is this ace-caliber Cy Young winning starting pitcher on the free agent market who’s a clear cut total jackass and insufferable human being but is apparently not a sexual assaulter and is no longer under suspension for being scammed, and also happens to prefer short term year-to-year contracts. Should Romero be interested?
-
That would be like hiring Squiggy…
-
Then why were the Sox the first ones? Ort was playing independent league ball until he was 25 and then was buried in the Yankee organization…
-
They just need to help him get better. Who cares about last year’s struggles? They only matter if they continue this year…
-
Yes but only as an excuse to not sign anyone else. And really, are the deals for Yoshida and Story really that big in todays landscape? 5 and 6 year deals given to players under 30?
-
Ort will never make it in the super-competitive AL West…
-
And while we’re at it, let’s tell Gordon Ramsey to go get some McDonalds for the crew…
-
Yep. Won’t factor in at all.
-
He was close enough. Only 5 guys get to be in the top 5…
-
“Keeping the bench fresh” is the number one complaint against Cora on this board, just ahead of cheating scandals and Kike Love…
-
Maybe the years put him off. They do with me. Of course, I’m not responsible for the money that gets paid out for all those years…
