And that&#8217;s the way we&#8217;ve been looking at it the whole season. They&#8217;re all important games. And we&#8217;re going to show up today. They got the information already. They&#8217;re going to use it to their advantage and then go out there and play the right way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;right way&#8221; is something Cora has emphasized all season. Now, with the postseason in its third round, the Red Sox manager knows that ramps up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, this is what it&#8217;s all about,&#8221; Cora said before Sunday&#8217;s Game 2. &#8220;It&#8217;s actually fun. We work the whole season and to put these guys in situations to be successful, and now it&#8217;s like you better be almost perfect, I guess, because the opposition is that good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now we&#8217;re playing the world champs, and for whatever A.J. says about our team, best record, whatever, they&#8217;re pretty good. And you have to be almost perfect as far as like your moves and put guys in situations that they&#8217;re going to be successful. And that&#8217;s a challenge, but I love it. I do enjoy it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora admitted he&#8217;s in a different zone now, both in the office and at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s something about, like, preparation that goes on that you know you prepare and then you&#8217;re with the family, having breakfast and all of a sudden there&#8217;s an iPad on the table and you want to look at another video for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mentally you have to be locked in throughout. I&#8217;m not saying that I don&#8217;t have a life besides this, because I do. But it&#8217;s fun. It&#8217;s fun. It&#8217;s what every manager dreams of, to be in this situation, to be &#8212; your team in the spotlight and to maneuver X amount of games to try to win the World Series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora was certainly locked in during the Yankees series. He made two key moves with his bullpen in Games 1 and 4, putting a starter in the eighth inning of each game to preserve a win. He also started Ian Kinsler at second over Brock Holt in Game 4 after Brock Holt&#8217;s cycle in Game 3.<\/p>\n<p>Cora&#8217;s former boss knows the Red Sox manager as well as anybody, since Cora served as A.J. Hinch&#8217;s bench coach in 2016 and &#8217;17.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s just Game 2. I don&#8217;t know that their backs are against the wall as much as they had a tough game (Saturday) night. I expect them to come out and be really good,&#8221; Hinch said. &#8220;I always talk about myself in the sense that I don&#8217;t panic and you&#8217;re not going to see anything different whether we&#8217;re up or down or elimination game or not.<\/p>\n<p>You can probably multiply that with Alex, in what I know about him. So there&#8217;s going to be no real change. There&#8217;s always a sense of urgency with him. There&#8217;s always going to be quality play with this group. These guys didn&#8217;t win this many games by accident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I also noticed, it wasn&#8217;t a magic carpet ride for them or us. We both had sets of adversity, having to fight through some things. We just made it look a little bit easier than some teams because we won so many games. But I expect them to be good, and they&#8217;re going to come out ready to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Hinch has a sense of tendencies with Cora and how he&#8217;ll use his roster, including the bullpen, he&#8217;s not going to waste time overthinking it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I go by the phrase &#8216;manage your own team.&#8217; I have hard enough time managing my own team; I don&#8217;t want to manage his team,&#8221; Hinch told me. &#8220;And we&#8217;ll pay attention to what he does. We know what he&#8217;s done in the past series and all bets are off in the postseason. You see some unpredictable things in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>So when you get too caught up into making predictions you can get yourself in trouble. But focus on our guys. When he gets a guy up we&#8217;re well aware with who&#8217;s warming up with the video technology, and we&#8217;ve got our scouting reports and we&#8217;ll go with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOSTON &#8212; Both Alex Cora and his close professional friend and mentor A.J.
