I’m making things up. Professional spin doctor, right here. All of the talk about firing him was just a mirage.

Like Tony Massarotti’s rant about DD firing Farrell: http://www.csnne.com/boston-red-sox/tony-massarotti-boston-red-sox-need-to-fire-john-farrell-epic-rant

Maybe I imagined people brainstorming a proposed deadline on when to send Farrell packing: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2016/06/30/firing-john-farrell-may-not-end-turnaround-red-sox-need-start

Or an actual hashtag devoted to giving the manager the boot: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/06/28/frustration-with-farrell-boiling-over-in-boston/

The sentiment is out there and it’s not a vocal minority.

You mean an idea spread by high profile sources like…..Brett Cowett? Because around my watercooler, no such”ideas” are being spun.

It is not good.

So if you think you can do better step up .They need support not negatives what happen Red Son Nation we believe

Specifically, what’s the point of reacting to something that didn’t happen?
