Given how poorly the Red Sox have started this season, particularly within the context of the team’s massive expectations, you can’t pin anything down on just one or two guys. The failure has been top-to-bottom, as we talked about on Saturday. The rotation obviously stands out above the rest, but the offense has been terrible at times, and even in the games in which they’ve ostensibly done fine they have often left runs on the table early in games. If they came through in some of these big spots, it would have changed these games and perhaps the eventual outcomes.
Jackie Bradley Jr. is lost at the plate right now
