The Boston Red Sox are on a record pace for wins in a regular season yet issues still surface. Craig Kimbrel suddenly issues a series of walks that put all on edge expecting disaster to strike and it occasionally does. Joe Kelly’s magic of April and May goes into hibernation and Joe is just an ordinary Joe. An injury-riddled Drew Pomeranz gets lit up by batters and social media. Heath Hembree melts down against the dreaded Yankees.
Baseball has a nasty way of even having the greatest of players look ordinary at times or make bonehead plays that would even make a Little League player embarrassed.
