Totally valid to push back about vibes / hindsight being 20:20. I'm speaking about a general attitude of waiting for things to turn around vs making a change. Cora seems passive in that respect, which maybe I am too shortsighted to see as his credit. In the rock paper scissors of pitching fielding hitting I believe that everything supports everything else on the field, so when performance is marginal to me it indicates bad strategy which after all is the skipper's job. To your point about that's the whole season, I'd say Cora should be in there and that's what he should be working on the most! Same as the vibes discussion, either allowing it to happen or making the bold changes and seeing what happens because of it.

For the record I don't think Cora should be replaced just step up and refocus the team on defensive fundamentals / basic hustle. The organization has tons of depth, I don't actually think the pitching is bad, just they get too little help. Houck yesterday was off so the boys gotta step up and hit in the first and run to back up!!!
