6/22 Seattle

[Tedballgame]

Cora is an idiot!

[jung]

Who did not see that coming?

[Natick to NC]

What a s*** show

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Wright should not have been in to serve that. So STUPID.

[Maxbialystock]

Really tough on the manager. I really don't fault Cora here. He has his pen to think about. The problem with the knuckler that is on an off night is that there is every reason to worry that we will see another headed for orbit.

 

********. What Cora has done tonight is unconscionable. It was clear in the 2d inning that Wright didn't have it. He should have had someone warming up from the 3d inning on. He's got an extra reliever, by the way.

[bmattioli]

Thanks Cora..

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Oh so NOOOW he takes him out. Little late there buddy.

[Tedballgame]

Everybody but Cora knew Wright didn't have it tonight and that Cruz was killing him. Wow. Its almost like John Farrell is sitting there.

[Natick to NC]

Wright should have been traded a week ago lol he's not worth Swihart now .

[a700hitter]

So Cora has a 10 run rule. He just let Wright throw away the game. Ridiculous. There is no reason to leave Wright out there this long when he clearly had nothing. This was a very bad decision.

Was reasonable all the way up to pitching to Cruz. No reason to think we are not going to score more runs. But pitching to Cruz with Wright with two on was sheer insanity.

[Maxbialystock]

Everyone knows I defend Cora on every single move, but not tonight. This was rookie manager at his worst and failing to understand that a knuckler gone bad is incredibly vulnerable.

 

10 runs, 5 of which belong to Cora. Shameful.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, I did post that 6 runs wouldn't win this game.

[Natick to NC]

3 back with Erod going tomorrow .Time to understand we will likely face these Mariners in a one game playoff 85 percent chance if we don't get significant upgrades .

[Tedballgame]

Cora has now lost almost as many games with mis-managing as Farrell did last year. What an idiot. I am losing faith in him as a manager.

[Maxbialystock]

Was reasonable all the way up to pitching to Cruz. No reason to think we are not going to score more runs. But pitching to Cruz with Wright with two on was sheer insanity.

 

The problem was he didn't have anyone warming up at the first sign of trouble in the 4th. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Station 13]

f*** you Cora.

Finally, we agree on an instance where the manager has screwed up. I used to mock the 7 run rule. This was a 10 Spot. WTF!

[Natick to NC]

Devers ,Chavis ,Beeks for Degrom

Devers ,Chavis ,Beeks for Degrom

That won't get it done.

[Tedballgame]

Good thing he didn't bring in Johnson earlier.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

everybody but cora knew wright didn't have it tonight and that cruz was killing him. Wow. Its almost like john farrell is sitting there.

 

bingo!

[Natick to NC]

Don't worry Swihart will get us on track

[Maxbialystock]

Wright is not only getting killed, he's trying to get his players killed also.

 

I agree on that too.

 

I might add that of course neither Wright nor Vazquez was going to suggest in any way that Wright didn't have it tonight. That are both partly complicit.

 

You cannot, repeat, cannot trust a knuckler after that first inning. What the hell were those guys thinking? Plus two more in the 2d. Idiocy.

[Station 13]

The White flag is in to replace. Cora is at least right with this move.

[jung]

Funny thing is that Johnson has not exactly been dazzling this year. So Cora is still not willing to use a "valued" reliever having actually put them in the position of being down 5. Cora is sort of an odd duck for my money. Sort of throws them in a hole and then piles the dirt on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That won't get it done.

 

How about if the SOX throw in SWI?

[Natick to NC]

That won't get it done.

I'm so mad I'm rethinking all the other times I defended him.

[a700hitter]

Don’t be too hard on Cora. Despite all the date and analytics at their fingertips, there just is not a lot of brainpower in MLB dugouts.
