I do not recall any serious criticisms of Cora managing last year., and have no recollections at all of posters calling for his firing this year.


This forum, pages 50-60 might shed some light.

LAST year, as I already noted.

I just scanned those pages. Other than a in-game comment made during the Atros series about a 2nd guess, (maybe about Porcello) Ive no idea what you are yammering about.


Again the issue you wish to dodge was your objections to Cora's job last year as a manager.

Not an out of context game thread comment.

Keep on dodging kid.

Your disingenuity grows in direct proportion to your shrinking credibilty.

If you put him in based only what you he's done so far then you'd have to put Johan Santana in, too.

Still, and all, Jess Haines is in, so I'd have no problem with Price.

Santana is somewhat like Don Mattingly's HoF candidacy. Maybe the best at what they did, but not long enough.

IMO peak Santana was a better pitcher than Price.

Agreed.  But if Price is an HOF guy as of today, then so is Santana.

I don't think Price is a HoF guy today. But he's got a few more years to bulk-up his resume.

Same for Jon Lester.

I'd have no strong problem with the vets committee "Bainesing" Santana in the future.

10-D

Tampa series

5-13 .385

HR, 2 doubles, 2 singles = 10 TB = .714 slg %

1.099 OPS for the series.

not a bad series.

kid enjoys picking out the cherries then complaining he didn't get any cherries.

That would have been more satisfying had I had a chance to watch it, but it will have to do!

And too bad about that 4th homer, Mookie. But one more 3 homer game and you'll tie a different record.

He hit 3.
