Alex Cora pointed out that pitching and defense are the "two pillars that winning teams have." He noted that teams that thrive maintain consistency in these areas, essential for a successful season.
Cora highlighted the example of the Detroit Tigers, who excelled in pitching and defense in the second half of the season, placing them close to postseason qualification for the first time in a decade.
Despite starting the season strong with the best ERA, the Red Sox fell to 16th in MLB at 4.05 ERA and led the AL with 115 errors, illustrating their lack of consistency.
Cora emphasized the need for consistency, particularly in pitching and defense, stating, "This year, for X or Y reason, we weren't consistent at all," which contributed to their missed postseason.
