You’re either going to make a move, and it’ll be right, or make a move, and it will be wrong… I think he’s a really, really good manager.

One of Boone’s most debated choices was deploying Nestor Cortes in the 10th inning of Game 1. Cortes, who had been sidelined due to injury, was called to pitch against the heart of the Dodgers’ lineup.
