Theres no way he’s waving the white flag with a 4-2 Deficit in the 6th at home against the Pirates. He left him in too long. I’ve watched May 5 times now and he cannot handle adversity. He melts out there almost instantly. Cora has to have a plan going into a May start. He’s not nor has he been reliable. Dodgers would have given up May for a root canal he was that bad
Not a strong effort by Hicks. Not sure how much more evidence Cora needs to keep this guy out of high leverage situations. He simply doesn’t have the mental fortitude to deal with it
Guys that are 6-6 and throw as hard as these two do also have the benefit of perceived velocity where they release the ball closer to home plate which in turn makes the fastball seem even faster. The pitcher who benefited from this the most was one Greg Maddux. He wasn’t 6-6 but he had a stride length 120% of his height which made his fastball seem much faster than it was
