MLB’s new pitch clock is making the game a better product for fans, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday during an appearance on The Bradfo Show with WEEI’s Rob Bradford.

“I don’t know what we did the last 10 to 15 years,” Cora said. “But this pace is what it was supposed to be. It was in the 80’s and the 90’s, but for some reason we forgot how to do it. And I don’t want to say we paid the price, [but] yeah we need the pitch clock now. We did a horrible job over the last 20 years with the pace of the game.
