Firing Molitor is not the same thing. The Pohlads like him. If he becomes the first manager to take turn a 100 loss team to a play-off team, it's still going to be very hard for Falvey to fire him.
Mollie left Colon in too long. I know his pitch count was good, but he was getting hit hard all night. Should have taken the 6 innings and called it a day, or at most given him one base runner in the 7th.
