This was utterly predictable, sadly.

Just why Cora? With Wright in the pen you toss Hembree to Stanton?

I guess Cora hasn’t seen this movie enough. We all know what’s coming with hembree I think he was thinking, once Hembree gives up a GS, he won't be protecting a lead anymore and then he can pitch OK.

Well, Cora has only 9 more games to figure this mess out.

That’s what seven walks deserves.
Inexcusable. ERod and Cora both have to be better than that. Should never happen on a major league ballclub.

OK - that sucked, but its only the 5th - hoping our hitters realize that they can't get it all back in one swing...base hits, get the train running. This would be a great game to steal back....keep the faith folks (we have Mookie and JD).
Mookie just showed how this can be done. Hits. Lots of hits.

How awesome would it be if yankees were brining in hembree instead?

What a complete dump of a ballpark this is. All but one of the HRs in this series would have been an out at Fenway. Also, I want to see what Wright can do in relief. If nothing else, he can hopefully throw off the timing for the Yankees for a bit.

HEATH HEMBREE SHOULDN'T BE COMING IN QITH RUNNERS ON BASE. ONCE AGAIN CORA HEMBREE WAS THE WORST WITH INHERITED RUNNERS IN ALL OF MLB LAST YEAR.
THIS ISN'T A SKILL. LEARN CORA. LEARN.

We'll probably get 2 scoreless from Wright, take the lead, and then Cora will put him too early and whoever takes over for him will blow it.

Xander is one that Cora seems frustrated with (from his interviews) - lets perfect first pitch strikes go by, ends up behind in the count and lunging.

now I'm left wondering what could've been if Wright had gone in instead of Hembree

Not going to lie, Cora has looked clueless this series and is acting like we already have the division wrapped up.
