00:00Of course, the Red Sox have a new problem at third base
00:03because Alex Bregman is going to be out for a long time
00:06with that injury he suffered last week.
00:08So what do you think would be the normal, like, I mean,
00:11Devers played third, right?
00:13You'd figure, well, let's just put Devers back at third.
00:16Now, this has been going on for months since spring training.
00:22Ruining their season.
00:24Ruining their season.
00:25Here we go.
00:26It's almost June 1st, and Alex Cora is still answering questions
00:31about Rafael Devers' play in the field.
00:33Alex, last homestand, you were talking about Devers,
00:36and you said he still views himself as a position everyday player.
00:40Is there no ground balls at third, like, start the process?
00:45Is it just not going to take them?
00:46Not at third base, no.
00:47No, and we keep talking about the other position,
00:49but as of now, it's not happening.
00:52Ongoing conversations?
00:53We always have conversations, yeah.
00:56So there's more conversations about him possibly at first and third?
00:59Not more.
00:59No, no, no.
01:00Third base, he's not going to play third base.
01:03I'm sorry, I just want to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding.
01:05Like, so there have been conversations about first base with him?
01:09We're still talking about the situation, man.
01:11Like, this is where we had, you know,
01:13there's a chance Christian's going to play first base this weekend in Atlanta.
01:17You know, like, there's conversations, you know.
01:19I don't have to go specifics, but the third base part of it is a no.
01:24I mean, honestly, how painful was the reporter?
01:30He was painful.
01:31But I think we have been now, like I said,
01:35this is three months we've been doing this, these updates about,
01:39and you know who this is bothering the most, Scotty,
01:41and this is where it causes the biggest rift is, is the fan base.
01:45And I know that players probably don't care,
01:47and Alex Cora might not care,
01:48but, like, what do the fans think right now of Rafael Devers?
01:53And I know he's been hitting lately, so, you know,
01:56they can understand that.
01:57But when all this keeps going on,
01:59what do they just immediately keep thinking?
02:02Oh, he's not a team guy.
02:03You don't want to help the team.
02:04Why can't he just go play third base?
02:06Why can't he?
02:06He played there his whole life.
02:07So, now, they look at it as the organization has now painted Rafael Devers
02:14as the bad guy in this entire situation.
02:18Meanwhile, he's, without a doubt, with Bregman out, their best hitter,
02:23and with Bregman in, he's right there with him in terms of the bat.
02:28He is a great hitter,
02:30and the days of him playing in the field are over.
02:34It's pretty obvious to me he's not playing third or first.
02:37And they're sick and tired of dealing with it.
02:39And what it is for me is it's fantastic.
02:43This has been utterly so enjoyable for me.
02:47It's just the most – I mean, between the Celtics bending over
02:50and getting it from behind and the Red Sox being this deep
02:55at the end of May from the Yankees that everyone thought
03:00the Red Sox were going to win the world championship this year.
03:02Remember?
03:03They're the team to beat.
03:04Remember?
03:05That's all I heard.
03:05They're the team to beat.
03:07My ass.
03:08They have sucked now repetitively year after year after year after year
03:11to the point where when are they going to finally get rid of Cora?
03:14He's not doing it anymore either.
03:16Not only that, he doesn't even look like Cora anymore.
03:18He's so skinny.
03:19Get that guy a sandwich or some of that prime rib at the Islanders party.
03:23Can we beef him up a little bit?
03:24Can we get him some protein shakes?
03:26I don't give a rat's ass about the Red Sox problems, okay?
