| 0:00.0 | Alex Corr is available and while you'd have to be an idiot to not want him to manage your team, |
| 0:04.8 | it's just very odd to think that he is going to days after being fired by the Red Sox take another job. I'd love it. It'd be amazing. Cohen, write him the biggest, fattest check in the world, bring him in. I just don't think it's a realistic thing for a myriad of reasons. and we were talking about how rare it has to be in the history of baseball for a guy to be fired mid-season |
| 0:22.3 | and then take over another team's job. |
| 0:25.1 | And I mentioned the only one I could come up with was Billy Martin. |
| 0:27.7 | Well, the archivist for Evidentiki Dan came up with a second name. |
| 0:31.6 | And it worked out really well. |
| 0:33.2 | Tony Laruso. |
| 0:34.5 | Tony Larusa was fired by the Chicago White Sox early in the 1986 season and then took over |
| 0:40.7 | in Oakland for the athletics, had great success and obviously really good success. |
| 0:46.1 | Right. |
| 0:46.6 | So Tony LaRusa is another rare example of a mid-season firing who took another job elsewhere |
| 0:53.4 | in the same season. |
| 0:54.5 | Because we know how his career turned out and how he's revered as a manager. |
| 0:59.9 | It almost seems obvious that he would be that guy because he's just a good manager. |
| 1:04.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:05.3 | But how do you know in real time that that's going to work? |
| 1:08.3 | Because he was young, right? |
| 1:09.8 | He was in his 40. |
| 1:10.6 | Tony was 41 years old when he was fired by the White Sox and took over the A job. Remember, he started in Chicago at age 34. He was like ahead of his time. So a veteran, even though he was only 41 years old. Yeah, and had some pretty good success in Chicago with the White Sox. They had some pretty good seasons. They made the postseason once. It was obviously tougher to do when 99 games with them. But the point is, this is a rare thing. It's not common for a guy to be fired midseason and then take over another job. And the reason why it would be really tough to believe that Alex Corey would do that for either the Mets or the Phillies is that at the end of this season, there may be a lot more jobs available. The Yankee job could be available. The Astros job will probably be available. Who knows if Dave Roberts wants to manage anymore, the Dodger job could be available. I mean, you never know. The Padres have a brand new owner. Maybe they want Alex Corr. Like, there's just a million things I could come up with on jobs that would be available that could benefit Alex Cora to wait. So as of right now, Sean, have you come up with anybody or is it just Dan who does this? Just Dan. Okay. Fair enough. So if you come up with two. The problem is I Google and then AI gives me like three answers. I Google them. Then it's not right. |
| 2:18.2 | Oh, no. |
| 2:18.7 | AI cannot be trusted. |
| 2:19.7 | But there's not like a home database for this. You know what I mean? It's AI pulling from the internet and they're wrong again. As Twitter. They know everything. Yeah. They're trying to find this right about Bob Lemon. Oh, Bob Lemon. Let's see if Bob Lemon did that. Oh, Bob Lemon was one of the others. |
