Cool

the season is just getting started

Just 5 games into the season. Hard to feel good about the data. Last night's loss by 7 drags the score down. Pair that with the 1-4 record this week is doing most of the damage.

Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are sinking fast, dropping their fourth consecutive game with a disheartening 2-9 loss to the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Brayan Bello, who was expected to blossom into an All-Star by 2026, is instead struggling with command, surrendering too many two-out walks that have cost the team dearly. With a record of 1-4 and the bats silenced, the Red Sox need to figure out how to turn this early-season slump around before it spirals out of control. The offense is simply not firing on all cylinders, and the team’s run differential of -7 over the last week speaks volumes about their struggles. As they gear up for another showdown against the Astros, the pressure mounts to find answers and reclaim their footing in the AL East.
