About this episode
Josh Beckett discusses the Red Sox's management decisions and shares insights on winning a World Series.
Everyone was wondering who had given Bradfo the viral anonymous quote about the Red Sox's decision to fire Alex Cora. Well, we have our answer. The source of the memorable line, Josh Beckett, joins Bradfo to talk about why he feels Cora is still the perfect person to lead the Red Sox, while also explaining the ins and outs of winning a World Series in a season where the manager was switched midseason (as was the case with his 2003 Marlins). There is also Beckett's unique take on analytics, along with some of the lessons he learned when he was first introduced to them. It's just a fantastic conversation with the always-entertaining former ace pitcher.
