I don’t know what to say. Baseball is a weird spot. Bad teams beat good teams. That’s a thing that happens regularly in a way that it doesn’t in, say, the NFL and the NBA. It’s part of the game. But at the same time, it can’t happen in this situation. It can’t happen when the Red Sox control their own destiny for a postseason spot, just needing to not collapse. It can’t happen when the team you’re facing has one of the worst pitching staffs in recent memory. It can’t happen while you’re fighting for your postseason lives against an organization that has not put any discernible effort in winning in a half-decade.
