Jarren Duran Alex Cora get brutally honest on ejections vs. Giants..
Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran and manager Alex Cora were both ejected from the team’s game Sunday against the Giants.
The Boston Red Sox lost two out of three to the San Francisco Giants over the weekend, and their series loss ended with a pair of ejections as frustrations boiled over. Umpires tossed left fielder Jarren Duran in the eighth inning on Sunday after he argued that replay should have overturned a tag call at second base. Manager Alex Cora came out to have his say and was promptly tossed himself.
“I don’t really have an opinion on it,” Duran said, per the AP. “I saw what I saw, they saw what they saw. At the end of the day, I can’t change it.”
The play happened when Duran singled to right field but Mike Yastrzemki threw him out trying to stretch. The Red Sox challenged the call, which replay officials confirmed.
“This game’s hard enough — we shouldn’t dwell on one play,” Duran added. “We just kind of brush it off.”
Cameras caught Duran swearing and after he was thrown out, he needed to be separated from umpire Doug Eddings. Then, when Cora came out to defend Duran, he said he also shared his thoughts on the other calls in the series he felt the umpires missed. Cora came to Duran’s defense after the game.
“I think he got thrown out because he voiced his opinion. I’ll be the one getting in trouble,” Cora said. “The check swing on Friday, the play at the plate, if I’m going to get thrown out, just make it worth it.”
