Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VII - White Sox clean out the front office

[Fenway]

I genuinely cannot believe what happened tonight. "Cora didn't care" is the only explanation that makes sense to me.

I fully expect Cora to quit before getting fired.

Even Dave O'Brien has stopped trying to spin things.

Ya you're just not following

You don't have some super complex ideas that are difficult to follow.

 

[EverettMike]

Call the gaming commission

I don't think apathy is against the law.

 

[Johnnyduke]

If you keep playing for tomorrow you won’t win today. Cora should learn that

I think this might be my favorite post of the Chaim Bloom era.

Well they are for you apparently. It's not difficult to understand the point I was making. It doesn't mean Chaim Bloom is responsible for Cora having a bad night.

I'm sure Cora knew he was going to get fired anyway. You can't let another collapse at the deadline without a fall guy.

 

[EverettMike]

I'm so confused by what's happening in here.

Is anyone defending Cora's decisions tonight?

And is anyone criticizing his season long performance?

As the great Taylor Swift sings:
"...It isn't love, it isn't hate
It's just indifference.".

Me to Alex Cora.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Like I said, not a good time.

Ok, I get it, it‘s venting time.

Cora with an embarrassing performance and that was your post. Insinuating certain people in the org. are open to criticism only (2 people) which was disingenuous at best. Which means other people aren't. Everyone on this board knows how you feel.

Cora having the audacity to bench anybody on this team for a perceived lack of caring is pretty amusing in hindsight

 

[Mione134]

This is just wrong.

This Bearclaw guy doesn't deserve this humiliation.

Oh I do think there are a select few who do think Cora has held the team back a bit and that Bloom has put together a better team than the W/L record suggests.

Losing tons of respect in the clubhouse here

After this game he's got a lot of balls to ever do that again.


This team won't be happy in that locker room. You had the lead. You purposely left this guy in and really f***ed this game.

No excuses for this. None. What an asshat.

Again you aren't following and that's fine

If I was on the team and saw whats going on I'd be livid. They cut the camera to the pen when OB was perplexed they didn't have anyone out and their expressions said it all.

They were bewildered.

Winning when he brought him in. Bullpen rested. Walked two guys before the top of the order.

Insane.

You should pick up a new shtick sometime soon

Verdugo 1000 yard stare into the bullpen wondering wtf he’s gotta do to get away from this manager who has the nerve to call him out while giving us this shit show

 

[Johnnyduke]

A singular bad night has people ready to smother Alex Cora in his sleep. Months if not years of a GM sitting on his hands is great organizational development/building.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Other than every single guy in the bullpen is hurt, or Barraclough is a serial killer, I don't think Cora has an excuse for his decision to leave this guy in.

 

[CDJ]

We were winning after 5 AND YOU TRY TO STEAL OUTS AGAINST 4 MVP CANDIDATES AND A FORMER MVP WHO HAS ALREADY HOMERED WITH KYLE BARRACLOUGH LMAO

IN A DAMN NEAR MUST-WIN. Literally nobody else should be discussed outside of Cora for tonight’s loss. Not even Barraclough! It’s not his fault! It’s like getting mad at a baby for puking!
