February 2, 20215 yr Don Cooper while reading the newspaper shouts over his shoulder "remember to stay closed"
February 3, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Really feels like Cooper was just stealing money the last couple of years Without being in the room, it felt like Cooper had a business card with 6-7 of his core pitching philosophies printed on them, and would just hand them out to the staff and say “Good luck.”

February 3, 20215 yr I think it's hilarious that Don Cooper hasn't found a job yet, figuring how much people overhyped that dude

February 3, 20215 yr Cease (Not Giolito) has a lot to figure out, fix, and then retain throughout the season. Let’s hope he can be a solid 3/4/5 with flashes of dominance. Edited February 3, 20215 yr by Sambuca

Thus, the handing out a card with some sayings on it comment has merit. He wasn't overhyped for a long time, but time took its toll on him. Thanks for a job well done, but now it's Katz time. I'm as positive about the change as an old pessimist Sox Fan can be right now.

And he doesn't need to be an ace, but a plus back end starter would go a long way. I know it's not the same, but if there are any golfers here, you can truly relate to this. You can know exactly what you are doing wrong, but by yourself it is so hard to correct. Having drills, and someone watching to ensure you are doing those correctly and translating it to a swing - is a true game changer. Just going by 'feel' can often lead to bad corrections and overcorrections, sometimes making things worse. You have to get to a place to stop thinking. That's hard.

February 3, 20215 yr Really don't think Cooper was terrible and he was once the best, but the game passed him by it seems
