00:00All right, here's why Alex Cora should be fired in just 60 seconds.

00:03Red Sox stink. I don't know if you know that.

00:05They're 30 and 34.

00:06They're in fourth place.

00:07They're nine games out, four games out in the wild card.

00:10And even worse, they're error repeaters.

00:12They make the same mistakes over and over and over again for years now.

00:15They lead the bigs in errors.

00:16They run into the outs on the bases seemingly every single night.

00:20So that's not good, and that's on the manager.

00:22Cora hasn't made the playoffs since 2021.

00:24Since then, he's gone.

00:2578 and 84, last place.

00:2878 and 84.

00:2984, last place.

00:3081 and 81, third place, and the mess that is this year.

00:34And oh, by the way, he's feuding with yet another GM, first high in bloom,

00:38and now Craig Breslow, which brings us to Raphael Devers, who is hitting.

00:41Stop me if you heard that before.

00:43285, 12 homers, 54 RBIs, but he's been allowed to act like a child

00:47because Cora enabled him.

00:48He didn't want to move off third, which he was wrong about.

00:50He won't go to first, which he's joked and trolled about.

00:53If you suck on the field and your team isn't good

00:56and you can't manage players off of it, you should be out of a dime.

01:01So that's why Cora should be fired in 60 seconds.

01:03Yeah.

01:03Also, I meant to add they're about to miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

01:07He has a worse career record than John Farrell,

01:10who made the playoffs more at a higher percentage clip than Alex Cora has.

01:14He has made the playoffs twice in what will be seven years as manager,

01:20and he even gets that out in 2020.

01:22I keep saying that.

01:22He would have been the manager on that team, which would have done nothing.

01:25Well, who knows?

01:27He could have managed that through the playoffs.

01:28Yeah, but that one wouldn't have been his fault as much.

01:30But it's like this team added a few really good players to a 500 team,

01:36and they're worse.
