Alex Cora Who Is The Manager Of Boston Thinks Aaron Boone Should Get Another Opportunity To Be The Manager Of New York

Gerrit Cole exited his start in the wild card game early on Tuesday October 5, 2021!

How early?

After recording six outs Gerrit Cole departed with New York trailing, 3-0 to Boston in the wild card game in Boston Massachusetts.

During his start in the wild card game in Boston Gerrit Cole surrendered a two run home run to Xander Boegaerts cracked a two-run homer in the first inning and Kyle Schwarber connected for a solo shot in the third inning. Xander Bogaerts clubbed a two-run homer in the first inning, and Kyle Schwarber hit a solo shot in the third inning off Cole, who permitted four hits over two-plus innings. Neither long ball was a cheapie: Bogaerts belted a middle-middle changeup 427 feet, and Schwarber barreled a high fastball for a 435-foot trip to the right-field seats.

Offensively Kyle Schwarber’s homer, Kiké Hernández’s infield single and a walk to Rafael Devers ended Gerrit Cole’s night.

Offensively, Anthony Rizzo put New York on the board with a one-out homer, and Judge legged out an infield hit, prompting Boston manager Alex Cora to call upon a porous bullpen.Giancarlo Stanton greeted Ryan Brasier with a 114.9 mph missile that pelted the Green Monster in left-center field. As Judge rounded second, third-base coach Phil Nevin pointed toward the plate.

Center fielder Kiké Hernández fed the relay throw to Bogaerts, who fired a strike to Kevin Plawecki from the lip of the infield grass beyond second base. Instead of runners at first and third with one out, the Yanks had Stanton at second with two outs, to be turned aside when Joey Gallo popped out.

Alex Verdugo stroked a run-scoring double in the sixth inning and a two-run single in the seventh as Boston pulled.

Though New York was beat by Boston in the Wild Card Game, advanced to the American League Division series where they won the series 3 games to 1 in four games over Tampa Bay who like them them is a member of the American League East Alex Cora took some time to comment on Aaron Boone’s contract situation and said Aaron Boone should get another opportunity to be the manager of New York.

This is what Alex Cora had to say!

I think Aaron throughout the season with all the criticism, for him to be in this spot, tells you what kind of manager he is, what kind of person he is. I talked to him yesterday. I’m very proud of him. At one point we went there -- it was very tough for him. I know how it works. We work in two markets that people will talk about your team and they will talk about you. You know, although I try to cancel the noise here, I check on my guys around the league. At one point, it was very difficult over there. Although tomorrow, at 8:00, he wants to beat me as bad as I want to beat him, and at the end, we’ll see who advances. But I think he did an amazing job this year.”
