The Beast Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Now that the White Sox have announced their manager do you think they will hire the 3b coach today as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I'm guessing Ozzie will announce who the 3rd base coach is. Depending on when he was told he had the job, he could hire the coach today. My guess is that he didn't have enough time to call the person or people he's interested in to ensure that they would want the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 ozzie played for a long time. I'm sure he knows a lot of people. my guess is he'll wait for a few days before announcing his guy. that would be the prudent thing to do -- and get the Sox more free publicity when he makes his first decision. wise PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Dear Lord.....Joey Cora?!? The coldest Sox player towards the fans that I ever met? Yuck....I'd rather not see Cora anywhere near the Southside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molto Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I hated Cora as a player, but just like Guillen, you have no idea how he will be as a coach, therefore, nobody should really comment too much unless they have seen him coach third base first hand. As I said, Cora wasn't my favorite player, but perhaps he'll be a good third base coach, if he is in fact chosen. how come none of the reporters asked this question? perhaps not at first, but it should have been answered towards the end of it.

SuperSteve Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 3b coach will be J.Cora another s*** ex sox player that fans hated. No it's not, because we're going to bring him back to play second base this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 No it's not, because we're going to bring him back to play second base this season. Why is everyone hating on little ol Joey Cora.... He didnt bother me at all when he was here, not like anyone expected him to be the greatest 2nd baseman of all time when he was here.... just curious....

quickman Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Its the invasion of the little people. Now everybody will be 5 foot, can't wait to see the lineup of 5ft pesky little s***s.

CubsSuck1 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hmmmm.. what does the 3B coach actually DO besides tell runners to go home or tag up??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hmmmm.. what does the 3B coach actually DO besides tell runners to go home or tag up??? Lots of stuff. The 3B coach has to relay signs to hitters and runners, sometimes they affect a change in signs if there's evidence the other team is stealing signs. Usually the 3B or 1B coach is in charge of infield positioning and of course they are a big part of training and instruction, as needed. There's a lot more to it than the obvious stuff we see during a game like waving runners home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
