After the Red Sox fell to the Pirates 8-2 on Thursday, a reporter noted to manager Alex Cora that the team can’t really afford to lose games against bad teams with so many games against good teams remaining.
Cora tried to make the best of it.
“I mean, we’re not going to win every game either, you know?” Cora said, shrugging. “It’s going to happen, and it’s disappointing. We hate losing, but we took two out of three. Now we got Baltimore, we got Tampa and Toronto. Now you got to win series.
