the season is just getting started

Small sample size at 4 games. A rough patch, by the numbers. A 7-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Pair that with a 1-3 week. That's the biggest factor right now.

Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox dropped another close game, falling 2-3 to the Cincinnati Reds, leaving them 1-2 as they head into a tough series against the Houston Astros. Connor Wong offered a glimmer of hope with his first extra base hit of the season, sparking the fanbase's optimism for a rebound year. However, this lukewarm start feels far from inspiring, with the Red Sox barely scraping by with a +1 run differential over the last week. The pitching staff has kept opponents to a respectable 3.0 runs per game, but the offense, led by Wilyer Abreu's hot .462 average, needs to step up if they want to compete against the Astros. As the team struggles, it’s clear: the excitement of a fresh season has some promising moments, but also raises concerns about consistency.

Red Sox Minor Lines: Mikey Romero might rake
It’s a long season, and it would appear from the very small sample size of games (three!) that Chad Tracy and Dan DeLucia are making a concerted effort to limit the workload of the starters — at least with respect to this opening series with the Syracuse Mets.
