COMMENTARY
Xander Bogaerts went 0 for 11 this weekend at Petco Park, and his Padres looked every bit the offenseless mess they’ve been even in winning Sunday’s series finale. The Red Sox won the other two behind new face of the franchise Rafael Devers and renewed face of the rotation Chris Sale, and sit five games clear of the big spenders after seven-odd weeks.
Good enough. Certainly better than what followed it on Sunday.
But after Michael Wacha did what Bogaerts didn’t, let’s muse a little bit about the rotation that got away, and whether we should care all that much.
