The second half of the season (since All Star break) the Red Sox are 10 games below 0.500. That falls on the Manger and GM. The were looking at the 15 games 82-96 up to the break and saw 10-5, but then went 4-8 to end the month of July. Beating up (33-14) on losing teams like the White Sox (4-3), Angels (4-2), Miami (3-0), A's (5-1), Pirates (3-0), Rangers (4-2), Blue Jays (8-5), Nats (2-1). They are over 0.500 with only 2 of the 14 teams still alive for the playoffs Phillies (2-1) and the Royals (4-2). I am surprised they are 0.500 right now with 2 to go.
