No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I do, you do, players and coaches do. So, I agree that might not be the best move, but I absolutely love 95% of the moves Cora makes as a Sox fan. I also love how aggressive he is too and don't mind how he went for the jugular last night even when it didn't work out.
By the way, Eovaldi's effort last night was legendary. He pitched 7 innings from the pen, through almost 100 pitches, and was still throwing 99 mph at the end of the game.
