COMMENTARY
Reader, I do not intimately know the details of your morning routine, but it’s a fair assumption someone will want to speak to you about Rafael Devers during it.
Anyone who is aware that the Red Sox began a hope-laden season in Texas over the weekend is likely similarly aware that it went very badly for Boston’s new designated hitter. Historically badly, in fact — 0 for 16 with 12 strikeouts. That’s the most Ks in the first four games of a season in MLB history, and the most in any series by a Red Sox player.
