Sunday should have been nothing but a positive day for the Red Sox and everybody remotely associated with them.
They not only had Garrett Crochet, their most important pitching acquisition of the decade on the mound making his debut in the Red Sox uniform, but they also had Alex Bregman, their most important free agent signing of the decade so far at third base making his debut in a Red Sox unfirm.
The Red Sox had this on a beautiful, sun-filled Sunday afternoon right at 1:00pm when all casual sports fans are conditioned like Pavlov’s dogs to flip on the TV and tune into whatever ballgame they can get their paws on.
