I was stunned how quickly the plug was pulled on Cecil as closer, especially considering it arguably happened because Cecil didn't field a sharp comebacker cleanly (think back to game 2 @NYY).
Anyone who has worked anywhere will probably agree with any speculation that the BP is probably just a group of dejected rookies and disgruntled vets at this point (all the way down to AAA too, where Delabar reads big league box scores with a half smile). I've worked in environments in which the director or manager's decisions aren't well regarded by the employees and s*** can get toxic fast. Consider major league egos, huge salaries, and the fact that failure can happen nightly on national TV and you probably have a very tense, very frustrated bunch. Why does some kid who's never faced anyone older than most players' little brothers suddenly get centre stage at Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium, and right after the senior-most member and proven arm gets publicly yo-yo'd out of the bullpen king's role over a time frame of days?
Let's not even get started on the effect this is having on the rest of the position players.
