COMMENTARY
Another weekend, another quality opponent, and here the Red Sox still are.
It’s nowhere near that simple, of course. Single April weekends don’t ruin contention dreams. The abominable White Sox are 6-22, and that’s after they doubled their win total by sweeping the Rays . . . Arizona had a 7-21 stretch last summer, and all they did around it was make the World Series.
Major League Baseball is finally committed to fixing the uniforms. Were they only so committed to fixing their devalued regular season.
Be that as it may, Friday’s ugly night, with more iffy infield defense and a mortal Kutter Crawford, was a definitive beating to begin another home series.
