Yeah, and I guess bringing him in for the 8th down 2-0 wouldn’t have been ideal, and then Jansen was warming once it looked like the Sox could have the lead, so no great situation for him tonight.
The pitch pretty much served as a pitchout. A slider down would have been a far better pitch to run on. Not necessarily defending the call, but the pitch made it look like an even worse decision.

No doubt... but he was out by so much I think it was pretty clear that aside from a spiked slider in the dirt, he was going to be out far more than 50% of the time in that spot.
Just a very confusing decision in that situation with a non-base stealer, 0 out, and our best hitters coming up.
I'm generally a Cora fan but that was a pretty obvious first guess horrible call.
