The last few days have been pretty much disastrous for the Red Sox, not so much in the standings — these losses certainly aren’t helping there, but it’s still only three losses at the end of the day — but more so in vibes, for lack of a better word. The vibes stink right now, and the losses are not just run-of-the-mill losses. They are gut punches, with sloppy defense running amok.
If you’re in search for some good news, however, you can look to the players starting to return. Boston has gotten three players back from the COVID list over the last two days, with Josh Taylor, Danny Santana, and Kiké Hernández all getting back on the roster against the Rays.
