The Boston Red Sox fanbase erupted in frustration over the weekend, with many calling for the immediate firing of manager **Alex Cora** following yet another disappointing loss—this time against the **Milwaukee Brewers**. The game ended with a gut-wrenching final score of **6-3**, marking Boston’s fourth straight loss and further fueling what has become a storm of online outrage.
The defeat, which took place at **Fenway Park**, was marked by questionable managerial decisions, including bullpen mismanagement and a controversial pinch-hit move in the seventh inning. As boos echoed through the stadium and social media lit up, the hashtag **#FireCora** quickly began trending across X (formerly Twitter).
> “This is a joke. Can we *please* fire Cora now?” one fan posted, echoing the sentiments of thousands more who are losing patience with the team’s inconsistent play and what they perceive as a lack of urgency from the dugout.
Inside the clubhouse, sources say the mood was **”tense and shocked.”** Players reportedly looked deflated after the loss, and while no public statements have been made directly criticizing Cora, insiders suggest that frustration is beginning to seep through the cracks.
Cora, who led the Red Sox to a World Series title in 2018, has seen his honeymoon phase long expire. Since returning to the team in 2021 after serving a suspension for his role in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, he’s struggled to deliver consistent results. Boston currently sits **fourth in the AL East**, well behind division leaders and clinging to distant Wild Card hopes.
When asked about the team’s recent slide in the postgame presser, Cora remained composed.
> “We’re not executing. That’s on all of us,” he said. “The effort is there, but we need to clean up mistakes and be better situationally. I’m not going anywhere—I still believe in this group.”
Despite Cora’s confidence, many in the fanbase believe the time for change is now. With the Red Sox’s playoff hopes dwindling and the trade deadline looming, the front office faces growing pressure to make a bold move before the season spirals further.
Whether Boston ownership listens remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: **the city’s patience is running out.**
