The Red Sox have been incredibly frustrating all year long for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons showed up again on Monday, specifically with Eduardo Rodriguez and his tendency to nibble far out of the strike zone after getting ahead in a count. More frustrating of late, though, has been the offense being in a position to spark a rally but instead meekly ending the inning with one run at most. That’s not the offense we got used to all last year. In this game, the Athletics gifted the Red Sox a rally with a pair of errors in the third that loaded the bases with just one out.
