IMHO while I like Cora, I think he is the main responsible along with his coaches. I think the manager-player line has been trespassed. He obviously has to defend his players but wonder whether he raises his tone in the locker room after a series like this. It seems to me, he doesn't.
Easy, who went after Brasier? Those!
Plus, who else were available? Well, them.

You just don’t put Brasier in close games.
Brasier is the worst RP in the team in my book along with Barnes.
Brasier sucks. He is a bum. You don’t need to slice it. He is one of the worst RP in baseball, period.
Bums bring collaterals. Put Strahm there in the first place and nothing of this would have happened.
