The Boston Red Sox fired Alex Cora and five members of his coaching staff Saturday night after the team’s 17-1 blowout win over the Baltimore Orioles .
MassLive Fenway Insider Sean McAdam and Red Sox reporter Chris Cotillo share their instant reactions to the move on an emergency episode of The Fenway Rundown .
“The timing, the bravado, the ruthlessness of it all ... wow,” Cotillo said.
McAdam was similarly shocked.
“Wow is right, Chris,” McAdam said. “I would say even a few weeks from now would have shocked me. If we got into late June into July — the summer months — where you have nearly half a season to judge the performance of the team and they were still struggling, then you could see this coming to fruition, but not in April."
Cotillo, who is in Baltimore, also shared his experience from the team’s hotel.
