    Last year Bailey was called a magician on here, but after listening to Buehler last night it sounds like Bailey has him all messed up on what to throw.

    All I’m saying is that things haven’t worked now for 4 years, and maybe some new voices in that clubhouse would be a breath of fresh air, and sometimes that’s all you need. To me all of Cora’s postgame pressers have worn thin.
  3. Old Red
    I still don’t think Cora’s days are numbered, but they should be. Cora said himself that things aren’t getting better, and he doesn’t know what to do, but show up. You can’t keep saying we’ve got to do better, and we competed right?, and last night we got into their BP even though we didn’t win the game. It’s not just that they are losing, but the way they are losing for the 4th year in a row now playing bad fundamental baseball. Bailey, Fatse, and Teck, and all his notebooks can follow out the door too.

    Not all errors are the same. You could look at the box score from last nights game, and see that Duran was charged with an error, but if you watched the game the good old eye test told you what happened. The eye test can tell you so much such as Bregman could very easily have two more throwing errors charged to him that the eye test showed you, but the official scorer awarded the batter a hit that even had the Yuckers in the NESN booth befuddled, so I agree fielding percentage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and there different kind of errors that the eye test if available can differentiate.

    Teel makes first appearance tonight for the other Sox.

    Corbin Burns heading for TJ surgery.

    That’s happened with more than one team through the years, and a little Morgan Magic wasn’t bad either.
  8. Old Red
    Cora to some like yourself is still living off 2018 with a stacked, and a once in a lifetime season.
  9. Old Red
    I think most teams wouldn’t have hired Cora back in the first place. I also think most teams would fired Cora by now, and most would definitely not given Cora any extension? Like Cora has said in the past the only thing that matters is what the team does, or doesn’t do in October, so yes wins is the bottom line, and right now the postseason looks like a long way away, which would be the 4th year in a row.

    Playing a position, and playing a position well are two different things.
  11. Old Red
    Like I said in another thread. As bad as the Red Sox played against the Angels it wouldn’t surprise me if the Red Sox took 2-3 against the Yankees this weekend.
  12. Old Red
    Daddy is not going to fire Cora, and Brez doesn’t have the power to do so IMO.
  13. Old Red
    Now there is worry about playing someone like Mayer out of position?🤭🙈
  14. Old Red
    Getting back to the real world everyone in the AL East has gone 8-2, or 7-3 the last 10 games except the Red Sox who has stumbled, and fumbled to a 3-7. Baltimore has gained 5 games on Boston, and is only 2 games back of Boston in the L column. Despite all this it wouldn’t surprise me if the Red Sox take at least 2 from the Yankees this weekend, .

    You think Theo is offering any advice in any of this? If not maybe he should.
  16. Old Red
    Cora could go work for Bloom in St. Louis anyway.🤫
  17. Old Red
    In this case it’s going to take more than 1 guy, and I don’t know who that 1 guy would, or could be,
  18. Old Red
    141 runners LOB in all those 1 run defeats is one big area that could be improved on with a big hit here, and there.
  19. Old Red
    Lots of young guys in that clubhouse too.
  20. Old Red
    And tomorrow is an off day to do so.
  21. Old Red
    I think most of the noise has come from outside the locker room anyway.
  22. Old Red
    I don’t think just winning today is going to cover up any issues the team is having. It may help them feel a little bit better going into NY, but that’s about it.
  23. Old Red
    Masa hasn’t been playing DH since opening day for the Red Sox, because he’s been hurt, and he’s off in exile, only because Raffy has his spot, and probably would have hit better than some of the guys the Red Sox have run up there so far.
  24. Old Red
    Good post.. Cora looked, and sounded shell shocked, and defeated last night after the game , which was a 180 turn from the night before, and has no answer on what to do next, but show up.
  25. Old Red
    I agree.
