I know that's been the narrative, but a week or so ago Keekay sat for three days and Cora said that it was to give him a chance to have a nneded break to turn things around. When asked about Cora's statement, Keekay laughed it off in a "whatever, dude" fashion.Seriously, this is the downside of Cora-loyalty. He has a solid SS in Chang. Hernandez is his buddy, so he "loyally" comes up with some "we found some footwork issues with Hernandez" excuse to get him playing time.
I think part of it comes from the fact that Cora was a fucking shitty hitter. Like an epicly shitty hitter. The whole second half of his career came from being a defensive sub for his moderate value there - but overall, there was really little reason to play the guy except as a stopgap.
But Cora's willing to pile up a few extra losses for the season on the off-chance Hernandez hits a little and gets a contract next year.
For sure. But Paxton is entitled to have a glitch in a game now and then.Paxton walking the bases loaded (bottom of the order) with no outs did not help things
The good news is that the Mission Impossible team has finished their world tour and they ARE availableGonna be a tall order, but I'm not quite giving up on this one yet.
Well, we've trimmed it to five. Baby steps.The good news is that the Mission Impossible team has finished their world tour and they ARE available
And did Chang need a day off, one day after coming back? If so (sore wrist?), using Hernandez at SS is understandable - if not, it simply isn't. The manager is making choices based on something else. Call it friendship or whatnot, but it's not an optimal choice.I know that's been the narrative, but a week or so ago Keekay sat for three days and Cora said that it was to give him a chance to have a nneded break to turn things around.

It's possible the relationship isn't as close as most people think
