I swore off the Red Sox after they lost in a (6-run) 10th last night. Totally done. Then I broke down and watched them today. No run game until the 7th and the bullpen proceeded to drive them in to an 8-0 loss. The starting rotation are doing better than I expected, but without much offensive support, they’re just sunk when they get to the pen. Criminy. I'm done. Until tomorrow. Hey, prior to 2004, I had a lot of seasons like this. It really stinks because these players are better than what they're showing. Ohtani went scoreless through 7(?). He gets a lot of hype, but he's the real deal. Don't worry. The Red Sox will be playing the Tigers at some point. |

Was reading earlier about how bad offenses are so far this year. Worst BA in the history of MLB, so far. |

Sox already lost a series to the Orioles, so I don’t know if they'll do any better with Tigers. |

I'm not a stats geek--plenty of other things I geek out on--but I'm curious enough to look into it a bit. For now I've been blaming it on the mushy balls. It seems they're making contact, but getting these bloopy pop outs. I'm not sure that's really the issue. I'll have to look deeper.. |

Great, thanks. I hadn't gotten around to doing a deep dive, but there's a lot there in that article. I'm wading through the drag study that's referenced. Baseball will never want for people who like numbers. I'll have to get back to you on what I think.
Early edition today for Mother's Day: White Sox 3 Red Sox 2. They're killing me.

Dodgers offense didn't exactly look like a juggernaut against the Cubs, but they made enough mistakes to give us a lot of free baserunners, and we took advantage of enough of them to sweep the series.
On to Pittsburgh.
