COMMENTARY
It certainly could’ve gone better. And it absolutely could’ve gone worse.
That the Red Sox raced to early leads in their first three games, posting crooked numbers in the first or second inning of each, wasn’t terribly surprising. They regularly batter New York ace Gerrit Cole, and the offense wasn’t a major question despite the subtractions of Hunter Renfroe and Kyle Schwarber.
That those leads were all gone by the fourth inning? Yankee Stadium’s gonna Yankee Stadium, and a rotation built presuming Chris Sale would be at or near its top that then loses Chris Sale … yeah.
