Red Sox 4, Mariners 12: Well that wasn’t great

Expectations are high for the Red Sox in 2019, as well they should be. This is a team that was historically great a year ago and is bringing back largely the same group of players. One game is not going to change expectations for anyone, but it will snap us back into the reality of baseball. Anything can happen on any given day, and the Red Sox got a reminder that this isn’t all good. Chris Sale was on the mound, which is almost always a good thing, but not today. He had no command and the Mariners caught on fairly quickly, blasting three homers and seven runs off Boston’s ace.
