The bullpen always seems to fall apart. The starting pitching looks good on paper but falls apart.
Look sale is going to be great regardless of who coaches him.

But honest question... has cooper ever made anyone better or improved someone's mechanics or overall made someone who was decent or bad into great?

14 years with the Sox and I can't think of anyone who he really made into a better pitcher. Now that's not entirely fair because the majority of my attention is focused on the Cubs so I'm asking the real Sox fans.

You realize he's pretty much dictating the bullpen and pitching changes... Robin doesn't know what to do... coop is calling those shots. It seems over the last three weeks the bullpen and the management of it have been a big part of the problem.

So is coop any good... like really?

The last guy he helped was Thornton. I agree. Fuck Coop. Whenever the pitchers are good it's supposed to be because of Cooper. When they suck, it's Ventura's fault. Fire both their asses.

Your best post ever. How did you see the light?

What did he do for Thornton? The guy was 29 years old, a former 1st round pick and always threw hard. He made him into a good setup man?

One year wonder 2003 free agent Esteban Loaiza who was flipped in 2004 for Jose Contreras.

He won 21 games in 2003 and 9 more in 2004 before the trade..in his 14 year career he won 126 so in his 13 1/2 nonCoop years he won only 96 moreor about 7 per season.

He is the guy who made Coop the BEST pitching coach in baseball.

The extent to which the Sox have fucked up this bullpen situation can not be understated. It's a failure on all levels and they should all be fired for it.

What did you see from Renteria that makes you think he would be so much worse than Robin?

The blank stare.

Exactly. You can't be a good manager unless you're mugging for the camera with a macaw on your shoulder.

The blank stare.

I don't really think the location of a manager during the game has anything to do with whether they are in the game or not.

I don't know man. Body language says a lot. If you're interviewing someone who is sitting back reclining in their chair vs. Someone sitting straight up and not leaning back who seems more attentive and interested to you? I mean the location of the candidate doesn't have anything to do with whether they can hear you or not.

I've never seen Maddon being anything other than super intense in the dugout during the game.
He's a goof off the field but when play ball is called that dude is serious as a heart attack and knows what the fuck he's doing.
You can mock him for his off game antics. That's pretty much all you got. I don't think you can mock his in game talents.

What are the things he does during a game that are different from every other guy?
