    All he simply said was he wasn't lighting it up lately.
  2. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Well, staying the course has led to a roughly .500 record for quite some time now. But, then again, you don't think there's much difference between an 81 win team and a 97 win team, so.......
  3. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Nonsense, one could argue it's just as close in the NFL. A .600 team wins 10 games, a .500 team wins roughly 8. Many more teams make the NFL playoffs with 10 wins than 8. My point is that there's a huge difference between 97 wins and 81. If you want to hang your hat on "there isn't" then have at it. That will be a lonely ship to sink on.
  4. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Exactly
  5. TheSplinteredSplendor
    No, it doesn't provide the perfect segue as they are 2 entirely different teams in two entirely different scenarios. I don't know that changing managers is "giving up" though.

    Red Sox Alex Cora responds on Jarren Duran move as concerns mount
  7. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Yes, over the years many teams have won 97+ games. Not many have made the playoffs with 81 wins. But, hey, if you want to stick with that then knock yourself out.
  8. TheSplinteredSplendor
    It's not like story and campbell are lighting it up lately.
  9. TheSplinteredSplendor
    They could provide a spark, who knows? Sometimes a shake-up is needed.
  10. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Umm, .600 is not "the best". Plenty of teams win more than 97 games. But if you don't think there's a big difference between winning 97 games vs 81, then so be it. Let me know how many teams make the playoffs with 81 wins.

    I said a Girardi type guy, that doesn't mean it has to be Girardi. Last I checked, he also won a WS and a manager of the year award. My point was that this team looks like it needs a "kick in the ass" type manager, not one that is going to coddle the players' egos, IMO.
  12. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Umm, the difference at the end of the season is winning 97 games or 81. I'd say that's a pretty big difference.
  13. TheSplinteredSplendor
    I'm not "creating" anything. I merely pointed out that the sox, like most clubs, have multiple issues that need to be addressed.
  14. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Ha!
  15. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Only time will tell. To me it looks like he caters to the players' egos too much. I think they need a Girardi type guy.
  16. TheSplinteredSplendor
    You make it sound like the club only has a singular problem. If you had a fire upstairs, would you ignore the smaller fire in the kitchen?
  17. TheSplinteredSplendor
    To me it makes it look like cora is not running the asylum, the inmates are.
  18. TheSplinteredSplendor
    It's not uncommon for a manager/coach to have outlived their time in an organization. Their voice starts to sound like the adults in the Peanuts cartoon to the clubhouse. Think Pat Riley with the Lakers. He didn't lose the ability to coach, he was just falling on deaf ears.
  19. TheSplinteredSplendor
    60% may certainly be elite, but 50% is still mediocre
  20. TheSplinteredSplendor
    I agree that I don't think cora will allow it this season because then it will look like he caved to brez. But right now it looks like he caved to the diva IMO. He's in a no-win situation.
  21. TheSplinteredSplendor
    I think the diva made it quite clear that he's not allowing this to happen.
  22. TheSplinteredSplendor
    Unfortunately for the red sox this falls on the diva's deaf ears.
  23. TheSplinteredSplendor
    In most of the cases that I have read, the batting average against for a pitcher rises each time through the lineup.
  24. TheSplinteredSplendor
    More like cora is kotowing to the diva.

    sox in danger of falling 5 back in the loss column as the Yanks won on Judge's MLB leading 15th HR
