And they picked up that Pearce from Toronto for nothing at the trade deadline along with Evoldi and the Pearce kid won the MVP and Evoldi saved the bullpen and lastly every move that Cora the Mgr. made was successful! Congratulations Red Sox on their 4 World Series victory in the last 15 years!

Those old timer Yankee fans certainly do like to live in the past. No wonder, the last century is where their team found success.

Another thing about this 2018 Red sox team is that it was CLASSY and professional ! Say what you will but this wasn't the 04 Sox and the Manny Ramirez antics etc. but instead it resembled the Joe Torre 1990's New York Yankee Teams . Great Job by Cora the red Sox manager AND the front office for how they handled the PAYROLL !

Communications drive success. The best Leaders know this and are committed to it.
Cora managed in Spanish throughout this series when he wanted no misunderstanding.
For more than a dozen Sox Latinos, it was simple .. manager no habla español .. no win World Series. :like

Joe Torres teams?

Those were Buck and Stick's teams.

They just gave all the credit to Torre.

What happened to the inside out finesse hitter. IE Boggs, Ichiro, Greenwell


My favorite all around player, Dwight Evans. different yet when down in the count he'd make contact. :shock:


When everyone you face is throwing 95; why not back up drag the bat like a 9 iron and make contact. Ichiro's approach is simple. His swing starts with the reverse swing as he pulls his shirt up. He slaps the ball and is running to first as he hits the ball. His concentration, his head is always in the game. It seems like every one is hitting for power. Ducks on a pond... Where are they.


Bunting lost art.
