From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Sometimes we have to take a look behind the curtain when it comes to the mindset of major league managers. And that's exactly what Bradfo is doing with Red Sox manager Alex Cora on this podcast. Cora has been very public about how taking up running has opened doors that he felt had closed, allowing for a different approach and confidence in doing his job this season. Cora goes into detail how he landed with the Alex Cora Running Club, with another member of the group - Red Sox hitting coach Pete Fatse - joining to give his perspective. And, finally, Bradfo catches up with Cubs manager Craig Counsell to give yet another view of a major league manager's challenge when it comes to keep a clear mind throughout a big league season.
