“I will believe Cora has made a mistake the moment you declare a bad move before anything happens”
Ummm….i usually do just that. I state here that I think a pitcher should be removed or allowed to continue or if a runner on first should be trying to steal or if a player should be PH for-all before the play. Regardless of the result I state what I think the best move is. Sometimes the best move doesn’t work out but that doesn’t mean it’s not the best move. As for moving Rafaela to 6th it was pure luck that he was up in that situation. I don’t give Cora credit for knowing it would happen like that- but I do give Rafaela credit for his game winning hit.
I didn’t watch the game so I don’t know about how the pen was managed but we won so I assume he managed it correctly. That doesn’t make him a great manager.
Last I checked our pitching was 4th or so in the AL in ERA. Past teams were even better- but our pitching is good, better than our offense.
