The 2004 Red Sox were so confident they would beat anyone after the Yankees series

This club got so confident out of beating the Yankees four straight. And at that time that American League East made you better than anybody else, because they were the best division in baseball by a decent step... Unless we were going to play the Yankees again in seven or another AL East team, that team was going to dominate whoever they played in. And it did.

The 2004 Red Sox did sweep the Cardinals in the World Series, supporting his claim of total dominance.

If your BP arm is healthy, you'll always have a job in baseball

I think it's my arm. Because as long as you throw really good BP, you'll always have a job. I never say it's up here. Maybe it's my heart a little bit, but the arm, because I always say if that arm goes today... I'll either be the Mets bobblehead or Wally the Green Monster.

Subjective professional philosophy from a long-term coach.

Base running is the hardest thing in baseball because it requires reacting to nine people at once

Third base coach is the closest to being a player as a coach. You are because you have to react as a base runner... base running is the hardest thing. And as hard as it is to hit, base running changes every pitch and you are involved every pitch and you have to react off of nine people, not just the pitch in one person.

This is a technical opinion about sports difficulty which is inherently subjective.
