I had many sources for this; I just want to point out that not only is this not the first time it’s been discussed, but it’s previously been written about in an article that largely came from Francona and was a celebration of how well he handled the team. But I heard from many sources that “verbally lashed out” was not a shorthand for, “Terry, I’m quite upset with you and the team and would like to express my displeasure.”
