Chad Epperson

What's the third base coach on the Red Sox?

Epperson.

Yeah.

Your buddy Chip Chipperson there.

Chad Epperson.

I call him

Chip Chipperson because I can't sometimes remember.

And, and the coach of the new coaches had to learn how to be major league coaches.

I mean, look at Chad Epperson.

He was getting ripped for sending guys.

And we haven't talked about Chad Epperson sending guys poorly in the last couple of months.

All of this is just the evolution of you let your guard down.

You start bunting.

At least I had a good relationship with Trace.

Chad Epperson, our third base coach, was the catching coordinator when I was a player.

So I knew Eppie really well.

So there were a few people coming in that I had very good relationships with already that helped a lot.

And the first one's worse than the second because he lost track of how many outs there were, made a horrible judgment, either or both, and got himself doubled off first.

And on the last one, the third base coach, Chad Epperson, was telling him to hold, and Raffaella went on his own.

So he was asked about it in the clubhouse after the game, and he went, and Bellinger's got a good arm and threw an absolute bullet to the plate.

Do you blame him for going there? Well, if the coach tells you to stay, you stay.

Let me actually share the screen.

Uh, "Seidam Rafaela said third base coach Chad Epperson told him to not tag up on the fly ball to Cody Bellinger in the seventh.

Rafaela said he went anyway because he wanted to be aggressive and tie the game.

He said it was a bad decision on his part." Um, again, you know, my thoughts on this, I was okay with it.
