00:00I know talent is obviously a major factor in this, but how much of these bad August, bad September's, bad second halves
00:07Do you put on Alex Cora that seems to be sort of a trend with his teams recently where they're kind of in it right
00:13On the outside of it at the trade deadline all-star break and then things kind of fall apart for him
00:19Yeah, I think that's something that kind of eats at him. He's trying to figure it out. I mean he is the manager
00:24He's responsible for it. I
00:26Still look at these teams collapsing for different reasons, you know, I think this year is about youth
00:31I mean, you know, I don't know how many I mean
00:35How many established players do they have big leaguers in their lineup each and every night other than Devers who has one shoulder right now?
00:42I mean O'Neill, I guess he's been injury prone
00:44Everybody else are rookies or second-year players who are finding out how six months of playing baseball
00:50Difficult that can be and other than Jansen and Martin. Is there anybody out there?
00:54That's got more than a year or two in the big leagues
00:56you're relying all year long, you know on Bernardino and Winkowski or or Boozer or
01:02Slayton who's a rookie and Weisert like I just think youth
01:06Caught up to these guys and they're figuring out what a big league season is this year
