Get rid of the shift. Play the game the way it's supposed to be played a player at each position. I wish they would come up with a stat of how many hits were lost because of the shift.

If they were planning on keeping him on as manager after serving his one year suspension, then why fire him in the first place? Just name Ron Roenicke interm manager and then welcome Cora back after serving his suspension. Instead the Red Sox go into righteous indignation mode and fire Cora. I find it ironic that before Cora was suspended, both he and Roenicke had a job with the Red Sox, and now only Cora has a job. Sorry, but from my viewpoint the optics stink!!

Firing Cora was for Looks ....
If they continue to keep the talent and upgrade as well, I think the retaining Cora was a good thing, if they go strictly to rebuilding mode, it was Not a good move.
I’m not arguing that Cora isn’t the better manager. I’m just saying that this whole situation is incredibly unfair to Ron Roenicke. He was promoted to manager after the Sox fired Cora following his suspension from MLB. Then Roenicke is handed a severely watered down roster- including a pitching staff that would rival a AA team’s pitching staff-in a watered down 60 game season. And is then expected to make chicken salad out of chicken sh**. Then the team predictably falls on its collective face and he gets fired.

What was Roenicke's response to getting let go ?
I'm wondering if it was a done deal when he was originally hired, they could have been figuring that that was what they wanted to do ahead of time.

I don't know about that. They changed their GM so maybe they'll try to sign him. They gave Homer Bailey $105 million and look where he's at.
If Bauer goes then the dominoes will start falling in the pitching staff.
Teams all over the map are eager for his services ...I don't know about that. They changed their GM so maybe they'll try to sign him. They gave Homer Bailey $105 million and look where he's at.
I'd like to see him stay as well, but I doubt he would ...
I HAVE heard, he wants Nothing to do with the Yankees.
I'm hoping that Houston goes after him, they need a bonafide starter .... Verlander won't pitch next year, it sounds like Grienke is moving on ... they have a few that they may have found this year when they had 7 rookies in the pen, but we'll see what happens next year ...
I'm thinking that the Mets are looking hard ... it wouldn't surprise me if the Dodgers get him.

Oh God!! What a stupid, stupid, stupid hire! Kiss it goodbye fans, he's going to trade away everybody for a bunch of has-beens to try for a quick win, that's his history, and decimate the team for years to come. Example, the Red Sox won in 2018 and look where they are since then, in the toilet. He always leaves a mess behind when he leaves.Phillies welcome Dave Dombrowski..........

I find that better than playing with AA guys all year long.
When he was with Detroit, how many of those he traded away, amounted to much in the long run ?
Yes but where is Detroit today? In the toilet just like Boston. He decimates the farm system and leaves the cupboard bare for years after. He tied Boston to such big money contracts for questionable players (David Price 7 years?) that they couldn't keep Mookie Betts and that will haunt them for years. How about the contract for Cabrera that's now an anchor around Detroit's neck? No, this is a bad idea.
Your discounting the Fun it was for the time that those players were there in thier prime ...
While I really like Mookie and wish he had stayed, had Boston paid him, it would have been for mega bucks and a 7 or so years, which would put the Betts deal in the same spot that Cabrera's is now ...
You gotta play for the here and now.
Mr. I was a Great Owner and a Better person ...
He said, when they are close to being able to compete, he would open up the wallet and bring in players, and he did.
Detroit was very good from '06 to around '13, thats a pretty good run , for a non BIG Market team ... (NY, Boston, LA ect.)
First it was the Washington Football Team and now it’s the Cleveland Baseball Team
