It’s hard to put into words just how bad the Red Sox pitching is. We all knew it was going to be a rough year on the mound for this staff, but I know I didn’t expect it to be this bad. You have to think a team can at least fake its way to a passable performance now and then. Friday in the Bronx marked a fifth straight game with at least eight runs allowed, and with Gerrit Cole going for the Yanks that’s a guaranteed loss. What’s weird is this game didn’t even feel particularly bad, which says more about what else has happened this year than anything else.
