That is bad base coaching. Something was close to getting thrown at the TV after that bonehead decision...I mean come on that just took us out of the game right there in my opinoin and swayed any momentum.
August 8, 200817 yr QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) That was so insanely dumb, and I am pretty sure Cox knew it as soon as Thome turned the corner. You could see him saying "stupid, stupid" to himself after the play. I dont knwo what the heck he was thinking. Cox waved his arm as Raburn fielded the ball, it wasnt like the ball was still skipping around Even though its still a bad call by Cox because he should have seen it, but didn't it look like Thome was hardly even trying from second to third, it seemed like there wasn't even any intensity.
August 8, 200817 yr We can't make our big slow guys fast. Cox should realize this and as annoying as station to station baseball can be, we can't send plodders home from second.
August 8, 200817 yr How do people think Cox has done overall as a 3rd base coach this season? Has he been an upgrade on Razor Shines and / or Joey Cora?

Joey Cora wasn't a bad 3rd base coach, he was f***ING HORRIBLE. Cox has made some boneheaded decisions this year but overall he's been ok. Cora would do something ridiculously bad, like wave Paul Konerko around on an infield single or something equally dumb. Edited August 8, 200817 yr by lostfan

Indeed. One of the worst I've seen in my 34 years.
August 8, 200817 yr I thought Razor Shines was fantastic last season. Cora was brutal, but Cox is making some decisions in crucial situations that have cost us games.
