Cora laments Casas' failed steal attempt: 'There's no excuse, he knows it'
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora wasn't impressed with Triston Casas after the first baseman attempted to steal third base following a double to begin the second inning.
"He just took off. There's no excuse, he knows it," Cora said postgame Tuesday after a 10-7 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. "We cannot push the envelope that way. We cannot do it. That's the bottom line. Twenty-seven outs are too valuable."

Made it clear that the team can't afford to do that.

Casas has stolen one base in his career over 177 games.
The loss dropped the Red Sox to 2-6 at Fenway Park this season.
