Manager Alex Cora expressed frustration over the Red Sox's inability to close the gap in the wild card race, stating 'It's one less day on the calendar, right?' His admission reflects the pressure as other teams struggle while Boston does not, highlighting the challenges they face in performance since mid-season, especially against key rivals.
Cora acknowledged the team's poor performance post-All-Star break, lamenting, 'We haven't played well since the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in July, and we're paying the price right now.' This statement underscores the impact of their sustained struggles on their playoff hopes.
With only 19 games left in the regular season, Cora's intention is clear: 'If Boston hopes to continue playing baseball in October, it begins with winning the series against Baltimore at home.' This emphasizes the urgency and importance of upcoming matchups for the team's playoff aspirations.
