Cora's heated remarks highlighted the tension surrounding Cole's play, indicating a deeper animosity between the two teams and emphasizing the significance of player intentions in baseball.
"I wasn't surprised at all because I felt like the first at-bat, he hit him on purpose. He doesn't wanna face him. That's the bottom line." Cora argued that Cole's actions demonstrate deliberate avoidance.
"We took exception to that because it has been clear he didn't want to face him... we were like, 'OK. That's what happened.'" Cora's comments underscore the heightened emotions in the rivalry.
