That too. He made so many awful decisions during that series alone that I couldn’t even remember all of them off the top of my head...lol. Gio Gonzalez in the bottom of the 9th against Jordan Luplow ?
Why do people want Dave Roberts? If he couldn’t lead the stacked Dodgers teams over the past few years to a title, how is there any reason to believe that he could lead the Sox to a championship?
The series in Cleveland sealed the deal for me. I didn’t like Ricky all that much from a on-field standpoint even before then, but bringing in Ruiz and then Rodon in critical games was the final straw. It was some of the worst managing I have ever seen, it’s like he was trying to lose his job.
I would love that. He’s coming off a rough season but I’d absolutely take him over Mazara. Give him a one year prove it deal and stick him in RF in 2021.
If the Sox were going to trade for any Phillies player, it should be Zack Wheeler. Pitching is the biggest need and Wheeler is obviously significantly cheaper than Harper.
I don’t like that either of them would bring their stained reputation to the Sox, but they are both far superior managers than Ricky and it’s not really all that close either.
Obviously I want Bauer, but that is a bidding war I don’t expect the Sox to win. So give me Stroman, Quintana, a decent right fielder, and a closer and I’ll be happy. I’d love for Colome to come back.
