The more that I read about it, it seems the firing was because of loyalty. Breslow wanted to can the hitting coaches and AC said he would have to fire him. It seems that they cannot even fire someone without it blowing up on them. What a mess! The bottom line is this team has a hard time scoring.

Your being kind to Bello. A ground ball pitcher that is given up hard hit balls in the air is not good. He was on a short rope against Toronto because the Sox can't afford to give up too many runs because they don't score enough runs. He is not any good right now!

It's painful to watch when the Sox are up to bat! I think they have 14 homeruns as a team! They also hit into a lot of double plays! There is no one currently in their lineup that scares you when they come to the plate!

If you told me before the series started that the Yankees would only score 12 runs in the three games and that they would sweep the Sox I would have said you are crazy! The Sox hitting is hard to watch! When the Yanks hit a three-run homer in the first inning in game two I said the game was over already!

All of the other teams in AL East are around .500 right now. So still too early to panic!

Have the Sox had any luck signing pitchers on the cheap that are rehabbing?

Early came up big when the Sox needed him! I believe the Sox are 7 and 0 when the starter goes innings!

Can't have a better major league start then Samaniego had. Striking out the side!

The poor start has more to do with poor starting pitching and defense then the Sox offence. Grant it, they still lack power, but they need more out of starting pitchers and catch the ball. The team was built on strong pitching and defense.

The price for Duran was set high (as it should have been), and no team was willing to give the Sox what they wanted for him. They weren't going to trade him for the sake of just trading him.

The problem for teams is going to be when to use it. It has to be used in situations where it saves a scoring rally or ends one. Like yesterday when it ended a Brewers rally with a third strike called.

Other than Game 1 what the Red Sox were doing in March was not baseball. Come on, where is the pitching! 32 runs against in the last five games!

They are already 4 games out! You can't win the division in March / April, but you can lose it. The Astros series was brutal to watch!

Other than Abreu the rest of the Sox have been terrible. It has been magnified because it's the opening week of the season, but the pitching (both starting and bullpen), hitting (what is with all the strikeouts), and defense have not been where it needs to be. After Game 1 it has become worse. Game 2 the Sox couldn't score in either the 10th or 11th. Really! Game 3 the bullpen blew. Weissert in high leverage. Really! Don't trust him at all. The Astro series was a nightmare! Talk about not showing up! On the positive, there are 156 games left in the season.

Because injuries will happen both Early and Tolle will be needed during the 2026 season.
