00:00So many times they fire a manager and they just promote a bench coach who becomes the
00:04interim guy and he knows at the end of the year he's getting blown out.
00:07This was different.
00:08They fired their manager in April.
00:11They did.
00:12And I have to say, maybe we have been unfair to John Henry and Breslow by not giving them
00:20enough credit for what they did.
00:22Now, it's their fault that Cora was still here to begin with, especially John Henry
00:27and his love affair with Alex Cora.
00:30But the fact that they did blow him out in April, they do deserve a lot of credit for
00:34that.
00:34You think both deserve a lot of credit for that?
00:36Yes.
00:37Yes, they do.
00:38Yes.
00:39I think Breslow always wanted him gone.
00:40And I think he convinced Henry to do it.
00:42And so, and Henry went along with it.
00:44Yes.
00:44They both deserve a lot of credit.
00:46I just, I give our guy, John, some credit.
00:49All right.
00:49All right.
00:49I'll give John Henry some credit, but I will say, I think that that was a Zooty runs the
00:53Red Sox.
00:54That was a survival move by Breslow.
00:57Wasn't it?
00:57He saw the writing on the wall.
00:59He never happened.
00:59Okay.
01:00Okay.
01:00I never thought Breslow was a Cora guy ever, ever, ever never thought he was.
01:06And we questioned how that was going to work from the beginning and who was going to win
01:09out.
01:10Well, it was a clearly, I thought it would be Cora.
01:11I thought it was going to be Cora.
01:12I'm like, Cora is going to win this because Breslow is going to get canned at some point
01:16because he hates Breslow.
01:17I don't think they liked each other all that much.
01:19I don't think it was all that functional.
01:23And Breslow won.
01:24And Breslow has been proven right.
01:26Yes.
01:27Yes.
01:27There's no doubt about that.
01:28I don't think it's because of any grand plan he had for this roster.
01:31This was not his plan.
01:31This was nobody's plan.
01:33Siegler, Sogard, and Monasterio.
01:35Do you think there's 12 or 13 guys on this roster right now that weren't on the opening
01:38day roster?
01:39You're not going to tell me that this was some stroke of brilliance.
01:41It wasn't.
01:42But the part about the manager, which I think has impacted a lot of things, is their move
01:46and they get credit.
