You probably won’t meet a bigger Red Sox optimist than me. Maybe it’s because I attend so many games, but I always believe the Red Sox can make the playoffs and go on a run. I like to give players the benefit of the doubt and hope they figure it out. I can even take the worst reliever in the world and find a trait to convince myself they can make an impact (see: Mauricio Llovera). What I watched tonight has me questioning all of that.
It was as if the Red Sox and White Sox traded places for the game.
