Transcript

00:00the win losses are bad so that's the easiest thing to point to like oh you're losing a lot of games

00:04but like what player is having a really good year where you could point to him and say

00:10well I don't know if you're getting this year if he doesn't have Alex Cora like that was something

00:14we used to say five years ago about like Bogarts and Devers maybe even Mookie Betts in 2018 you're

00:20like hey maybe this maybe this was Cora but now we're seeing that 2018 was the anomaly 2018 was

00:27wagon of a team talent was so good he didn't get in the way and they rolled since then

00:34they've made the playoffs once and you know he doesn't even have to take the losses from 2020

00:40because he got kicked out of baseball so you know he seems like a great guy and everything he's good

00:45with the media but right now he is a bad manager yeah the teams quit on him and he may have quit

00:50I was gonna say flip it it's it's amazing why did he take the extension I don't know it seems like

00:55he doesn't even want to be here a lot of money so why why take the extension but job security people

01:00told me he would get a job like this anywhere it seems to be lining up for him and I was always

01:05skeptical of that Keith yeah it seems like that would not have been the case because a oh the

01:10Yankees will hire him the Dodgers will hire him the Phillies are none of those jobs ever even open

01:14none of them ever even open just fine so right Dodgers are winning the World Series you know Yankees are

01:19going on deep runs in the postseason like no none of those jobs even open number one and number two

01:25I don't think the track record's that great I've said this before he's basically John Farrell and

01:30I've been saying this for years now recently worse yeah so the numbers you know people have been

01:35updating the numbers after every loss or whatever I think his overall win-loss percentage is worse

01:39than Farrell he's made the playoffs less than Farrell yeah he's won the same amount of World Series

01:43uh they people forget this about 2021 I give him credit for the way he managed in the playoffs

01:48and got to the ALCS that team backed in ass backwards on the final weekend of the year they

01:53backed their way into the play I barely made the playoffs that year now once they got there they

01:57went on a run it was lightning in a bottle for a round and a half and they were a fun watch and the

02:01crowd was insane and the ballpark was packed and everything else he's made the playoffs twice he won

02:06the World Series in year one and I maintain the same thing I would say about Farrell winning in 2013

02:11that was as much about the manager before yeah as it was about the manager who was there
