Then saying “I’m not saying…..gotta give credit to them.” Am I reading too much into that?44226Is Cora trying to insinuate something here….talking about how the Os were hitting everything and no swing and misses on tough pitches. Then saying “I’m not saying…..gotta give credit to them.” Am I reading too much into that? https://t.co/65JsuqAwISCora was questioning the tremendous at-bats the Orioles players had at the plate. It's like the players knew what was coming as they were taking some tough pitches and barreling anything remotely in the zone.While he complemented them on their at-bats, he said he would &quot;take a look&quot; at Sale's performance on Monday. Maybe he was tipping his pitches or something far worse.&quot;Sounds like the salty manager already on the hot seat for the Boston Red Sux&quot; one fan tweeted.Bawlmer O's@YinglingDesign@editti22 Sounds like the salty manager already on the hot seat for the Boston Red Sux.25@editti22 Sounds like the salty manager already on the hot seat for the Boston Red Sux. https://t.co/vHH727YE2j&quot;That would be pretty ironic coming from Cora lol&quot; another fan tweeted.Pro Dong Bonger (15-7)@DadleyRutsch35@editti22 That would be pretty ironic coming from Cora lol1@editti22 That would be pretty ironic coming from Cora lolFrank Gray@FgrayFrank@editti22 Insinuation for sure.

He wasn't accusing the Orioles of cheating. He believes Sale was tipping his pitches. Cora understands the reactions he would get if he were to accuse the Orioles of cheating.Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora should be concerned with Chris Sale's performance against the Baltimore OriolesMinnesota Twins v Boston Red SoxWhile Chris Sale is finally healthy, he isn't the same pitcher he once was. In his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, one thing stuck out more than the rest. He wasn't able to strike out a single batter.Sale should be striking out batters left and right for a lefty pitcher with a unique arm angle. Instead, he's giving up hard contact and looking lost out there.In five games started, Sale has a 1-2 record with an 8.22 ERA. He's pitched 23 innings in total and has given up 21 earned runs in that time. This is far from the pitcher that fans saw when he was a member of the Chicago White Sox.Alex Cora will have some decisions to make if Chris Sale can't turn it around for the Boston Red Sox soon.
