Bedard's Daily Briefing 07.10.19: Alex Cora plays all the right notes in ASG taken at BSJ Headquarters (Regular Features)

Good morning!

A few random thoughts while I wonder what we're all going to do today, the worst sports day of the year...


  • Maybe this was a sign that Alex Cora is getting his deft groove back ... he was money last night in the All-Star Game and made all the right moves, both on the field and off it.

  • Cora brought in Twins pitcher José Berríos, so he could face Cubs shortstop Javier Baéz, his brother-in-law.

  • During the Stand Up to Fight Cancer portion, Cora held up a sign for "Macuco," his father.

  • Had Mookie Betts take one for the team and not get an AB.

  • Called on a Yankee, Aroldis Chapman, to close it out.

  • Had CC Sabathia come out as the pitching coach to be honored in front of the Cleveland fans. That was awesome.




  • And wasn't it freaking great to seeing Terry Francona and Cora working together on the bench?

  • Welcome to the worst sports day of the year. But, there are a bunch of Boston teams/athletes up for ESPYs.
