Not a Red Sox fan (actually an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan, now Mets). I think Cora is outmanaging Roberts in this series. Pulling Hill when he did a colossal blunder.

The managers do over-manage the pitching staffs in the WS. They have for a long time now. Totally came to a head with Cleveland/ChiCubs a couple years ago.

"100 pitches" and "don't have them pitch third time through the order" have changed from concerns for managers to ironclad laws of physics that can never be disobeyed.

Certainly not like Koufax, Drysdale and Murray Wills days.
