I have to admit something to anyone who hasn’t realized this yet: I can be a massive hater. I don’t love seeing the Red Sox lose, but I am not surprised because I spend more time recognizing their weaknesses than their strengths. I am like many of you: a pessimistic realist. I’m like this in life, too, and so, when something the Red Sox do doesn’t pan out immediately, my hunger for instant gratification grumbles and I am left to complain.
Coming into tonight, Corey Kluber, the ace-on-paper this season, looked like a horrible investment for the Red Sox, holding an 0-4 record and a 6.
