Cora aced first postseason test with Red Sox

This is a baseball world where you sometimes get the idea that it’s general managers and all their analytics trying to manage these games, and even control them from upstairs. But sometimes it is still the real managers, down in the dugout and close to the action, who come away from the biggest games looking like stars. Alex Cora comes away from the first American League Division Series of his managerial career looking like that kind of star. And a total star at that.
