Could you give us 5 examples of Cox’s in-game post-season incompetence? (Other than bringing in Wohlers for a 2 inning save vs Yankees in 1996 game 4.) Thanks

1) Game 1 Starter World Series- Charlie Leibrandt.
2) Pulling John Smoltz in Game 7.
3) Allowing Sid Bream to bat in Game 7 with the bases loaded and 1 out in the 8th when he hadn't been hitting shite all series. Bream with sore knees promptly batted into a 3-2-3 double play. Long fly ball wins the world series because Minnesota didn't score until the 10th in a scoreless game.
4) Glavine was rattled that the Braves didn't score in a promising inning in Game 2 in the 7th. He never should've been allowed to pitch the 8th. A scrub parked his first pitch in the 8th in a tie ball game. Braves lose 3-2.
5) Game 3. Peña, the Braves closer hadn't pitched in a week. Cox brought him in in the 8th with a runner on. Chili Davis parked a 2-run Homer that nearly cost the Braves game 3. Braves rallied and won it in the 12th inning.
Peña was the closer. Not the set up guy. As a closer, he as 13 for 13 for the Braves until Cox put him in the 8th and not the 9th. He'd only pitched the 9th inning.


Now that was 5 in one World Series. Did you want me to keep going??
