GR Field is actually a really nice ballpark. Sure you don’t hang around after games but it’s pretty easy to drive to and unlike Wrigley, they have actual parking…
We are 27 games into the season and the Red Sox have scored more than 5 runs in a game THREE times. (They are 3-0 in those games.)
Know how long it took the 2021 Red Sox to score more than 5 runs in a game three times? SIX GAMES. And to score more than 5 runs in a game 4 times took them 7 games into the season.
The Sox bullpen isn’t good. But it also isn’t their biggest problem..
I picked one team. But I would be willing to bet nearly 50% of all World Seies winners this millennia have swapped out closers mid-stream. It’s really common.
Even the 2016 Cubs swapped out Hector Tondon for Aroldis Chapman…
That seems like too many IP to me, but:
1. I’m really not as close to the situation as the Sox are, and
2. Nobody on this planet cares about my medical opinion and quite often with good reason…
