The Red Sox are in the midst of a trend, and it’s absolutely infuriating to watch. For the most part, games have started off well for Boston, at least on the pitching side. Their starting pitchers have regularly held off opponents for the first four or five innings game after game. But the offense does nothing, either not building any lead of sometimes building a small one, and then the bullpen comes in and everything goes downhill. That’s exactly what happened on Thursday, with Trevor Story taking center stage for fans’ dismay, going 0-4 with four strikeouts. In fairness, Shohei Ohtani was bananas good in this game, but that fact is less comforting given how the offense has been playing against every other hitter.
