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.

Base running is the most difficult thing to do in baseball besides hitting

I know that it is the most... it's the closest to being a player as a coach. You are because you have to react as a base runner... Base running, everything 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. There are more mistakes than anything else.
