00:00Some of it has to be on Cora somewhere in there.
00:02You're the manager.
00:03The Red Sox in 2024, in terms of overall errors,
00:08were second in baseball, 115 last year.
00:11In 2023, they were second in baseball, 102 errors.
00:14And I think the last couple of years, and I brought this up,
00:17sloppy fielding, poor fundamentals defensively.
00:20I brought this up the last couple of years,
00:21and what you constantly hear from Red Sox fans in defense of Alex Cora
00:24is what's he supposed to do?
00:26He's got Pedro Reyes playing shortstop.
00:28I'm sorry, Pablo Reyes playing shortstop.
00:31You have all these injuries out there.
00:32It started the year two years ago, and he had like a million errors.
00:35So what you hear is they don't have the personnel.
00:37And it's like, okay, they don't have the personnel.
00:39Yeah, see, now they might.
00:40What's the excuse now?
00:41You have Bregman, who's won a gold glove at third.
00:43Story's healthy, so you can't blame the shortstop.
00:45If you want to get on Campbell a little bit, fine.
00:47Their outfield is supposed to be gold glove caliber across the board.
00:50Yeah.
00:50So what's the excuse?
00:52And at some point, I got to look at the manager, I think,
00:54more for that than the Ks, because I agree with you.
00:58I don't think Alex Cora believes in striking out at the clip.
01:01They're striking out.
01:02I think it bothers him more than it bothers Breslow and the driveline guys.
01:06And I think you've heard that.
01:07We heard it last week when he went on WEI Afternoons.
01:09He said, I hate the strikeouts.
01:10He said, they're going to normalize.
01:12They're going to sort themselves out.
01:13They didn't last year.
01:14We'll see if they do this year.
01:15But I still can't completely let him off the hook for that,
01:19because if you didn't want to deal with the Red Sox and their approach
01:21and their analytics, you didn't have to take their money.
01:24You don't have to take this job.
01:25You're a free agent.
01:26You were reportedly going to be highly sought after.
01:28You reportedly were going to have your pick of the litter for jobs.
01:32And so you decided to come back here.
01:34On some level, you're complicit with that,
01:35even if you stamp your feet and say you don't like strikeouts.
01:37On some level, you're on board with it.
01:39So where's Alex Cora on the list?
01:41I don't know how high up or low down he is on the list.
01:45He's on the list, though, because they're doing it again,
01:47and they should have the personnel defensively.
01:49Yeah, it's strange.
01:5013 different players have committed at least one error.
01:54Bregman leads the way with three.
01:56But everybody has had an issue with it.
02:00I mean, even their catchers all have errors.
02:02They've got a pitcher on there.
02:03It's a little bit of everybody.
02:05They've got a pitch.
02:06They've got a pitch.
02:06Bye.
02:07Good luck.
02:08Bye.
