Cody Allen rightfully bears the brunt of this loss, but it’s not to paint a beer soaked foam finger directly at Terry Francona.
I know you’re sick of hearing that Tito did something wrong after every loss, I’ve read the comments. I read them as much as you read the articles. But there’s no avoiding it tonight: Tito screwed up. As much as the collapse started with Cody Allen not being able to get three consecutive outs, it was made infinitely worse by a couple of baffling decisions by Francona and one hell of a bad game of telephone.
