Fun fact: Terry Francona(2004), John Farrell(2013) & Alex Cora(2018) all won a World Series in their first year managing the Red Sox.

Even with Severino getting close?

I don't hold him in the regard that some do, but even if he is back when he's supposed to be, he's gonna be on some strict limits himself.

I should hate Francona with every fiber of my being, but I just can't.

Yanks reached the world series in the first year of every incarnation of Yankee Stadium. 1923, 1976, and 2009.


Would've been nice to win all three, but the Big Red Machine had other ideas.

Such a good dude

I’ve always hated Jon Lester for throwing him under the bus during the chicken wings season, cause Francona was such a great guy when Lester was battling cancer

Pedro too. I fucking hated him with a passion 10-15 years ago. Now I love the guy.

And then Red Sox ownership threw him under the bus on the way out, too. The Boston Globe(owned by John Henry) ran some shameful piece about Francona being addicted to painkillers or some shit like that. Totally unnecessary.

Best pitcher you ever saw?

 

[molsaniceman]

This Garcia guy on Texas is a beast, he was DFAd by someone, I forget who

cards in 2019 and he wasnt drafted just signed by them in 2016 from cuban league He still has his rookie status

texas line up has 6 players with 5 or more homers

Without even having to think about it.

His 1999 and 2000 seasons were mind-boggling.

Yup. Total no-brainer. Especially what he did during the peak of the steroid era. Truly remarkable.

Who’s second?

For one season, Guidry's 1978 is hard to beat, for a career, I'd go Randy Johnson.

Center field wall about 320'? Great way to improve the offense.

I hate to ruin the ending for you, but he ends up hating the Yankees and refusing to show up for Old Timers Day. Then, to add insult to injury, he saddles them with one of the worst contracts in MLB history.
