  1. I agree on the move, but it seems Cora had a hard enough time deciding where Durbin, and Mayer would play.
  2. I don’t think the WBC was a problem for the Red Sox start. The Red SOX haven’t been above 500 at the 20 game mark since 2018.
  3. If the length, and money were the same who do you think the Red Sox would have preferred Alonso, or Con Man? The Red Sox did offer Alonso a contract first.
  4. Most of this was already talked about on another talk show this morning. Especially about being ready to start the season.
  5. Barring an injury to either I think Alonso will have more HR, and RBI, which is what I care about.
  6. He was a settle, and cheaper than Alonso.
  7. I said in the beginning of being on here that I wouldn’t have hired Cora back the first place, and I still feel the same today. I like Cora, but I think he’s way overrated as a Manager, because of 2018. Farrell won his first year too. I think Cora over manages more times than not, and now would do a better job managing those little leaguers he does that commercial with.
  8. Can’t disagree with you there.
  9. I know lots of Red Sox fans are out on a ledge after just 6 games, and that’s fine if you want to go there. Crochet didn’t pitch good in Houston last year either, so that’s not a biggie to me. Starting 1-5 is not a good start, but too soon to jump IMO.
  10. Con Man was supposed to be an addition to Bregman, which didn’t come together as planned. Durbin was a CHEAP option to Bregman, or all the other 2B/3B that was rumored about like Marte, or Paredes, and a few others. Yes Ranger was a reaction to losing Bregman, and it remains to be seen if he’s the right pitcher to go long on.
  11. Sale definitely passed the injury baton to Casas.
  12. From real swings, or imaginary ones?🤔
  13. Masa, Masa Man I want to see more Masa Man. Obviously that’s Cora’s favorite song.
  14. He sure didn’t look like he was ready, or even wanted to play.
  15. Back spasms for Narvaez, and a well deserved day off for Anthony.
  16. What’s up with Anthony? Last night he looked like he didn’t even want to be there standing with the bat on his shoulders watching 3 pitches go down the middle of the plate without even talking the bat off his shoulders to leadoff the game. 4 k’s last night, and 10k’s in his last 17 AB with one hit.
  17. Cora will find a way to get everyone playing time. Whether it works out, or not is another story. Masa was going to play, so would you rather Anthony, or Abreu got benched?
  18. Duran, and Durbin on the bench tonight for Masa, and the Mon Man.
  19. I think baseball brain trust by now know what Masa is, or isn’t whatever the case may be.
  20. No it doesn’t seem like Masa sitting that much is the plan, but is that just Cora’s plan, or a combination with Breslow?
  21. Arroyo in RF, and Franchy at 1B.🙈
  22. When’s the last time he had that? I get that Masa is kind of forced on him though.
  23. Cora said after the game last night that he couldn’t have gone back to the hotel thinking he had left Masa on the bench on why he pinch hit for Durbin, and said all his players will play. I think Cora likes having it this way IMO.
