I haven’t said anything about playing x over y, but I still think Cora made all the lineup decisions, and had to be told to get Kike off SS.
-
I know what if, and speculation means, but it has been your take for two years now that JH didn’t want Bloom to trade any top prospects.
-
I agree with you there, but I think it was Cora’s decisions on who played where, and when.
-
Kike was really the last option that year to take over CF after trying others first, so it wasn’t a first thought for Cora.
-
Do you really think it was more Bloom telling Cora who to play, and where?
-
You have to ask the pro Cora people.
-
It’s pure speculation on your part that the so called master plan by JH was to not trade any top prospects. Bloom yes, but there is NO proof it was on orders from JH.
-
Bottom line I was RIGHT.
-
I think Cora had more to do with Franchy, Arroyo, and Kike than Bloom, and I’ve never exonerated Cora for that. I think Cora had to be told to get Kike off SS.
-
I’ve already graded Bloom the day he was hired. INC. INCOMPETENCE.
-
I agree with you 100% on this.
-
Cora, Eddie, and BOH.
-
You can have your curve while Bloom is still looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road.

1. I’m not a Cora fan, and I’m on record as saying I would have never hired him back in the first place. 2. I think Cora is vastly overrated, because of 2018 3. I think a clean sweep should be made of baseball ops, and Cora included. I was with you on Kike, and whose idea was it to put Franchy at 1B, and Arroyo in RF? Was it Cora?
-
In Boston?🙈. Not with the results he was having.
-
I think that’s a pretty good assumption to make, and not flawed at all. I believe Cora has already more of a say with Bloom going, and him staying. Cora might not know how to acquire players someone else will do that, but I believe he’ll have a big say in who comes, and goes. Cora did mess up with Kike, but Kike was his boy.
-
That’s what you got out of that? I got ABB. Anybody But Bloom.
-
It doesn’t matter what the farm rankings is, but what you do, or don’t do in October is what’s most important.
-
That is what I’ve been saying for 2 years now. The WL record in the here, and now, and not what might happen in 2026 is what the age fan thinks about. Not curves, cliffs, or going all in, or not.
-
F is to harsh?. Poor, poor Bloom. INC (INCOMPETENT) will do.
-
Good win for Notre Dame tonight. Great effort by the D, and the offense took advantage of the gifts from the D. Freeman gets a reprieve for now, and after 4 tough games in a row the team gets a much needed break. Still got some tough games coming up the rest of the season.
-
But was it Bloom’s choice to re-hire Cora, or was it JH?
-
It goes without saying you’re a whiner, and an apologist when it comes to Bloom, but being as big as a Bloom guy as there is its understandable.
-
I agree that Bloom was not totally in charge, and was told to hire Cora back, but having said that Bloom was in charge more than enough to have left the Red Sox as a losing, last place in the Div team, and totally deserved to be fired. Call it the fall guy all you want, but Bloom stumbled so many times that he couldn’t get back up.
-
I’m not so sure about that. I think Cora got quite a few jabs in.
