Another series has come and gone and once again the Red Sox have been severely underwhelming on offense. There have been glimpses here and there over the course of the season so far but nothing resembling the team we’re familiar with.
During their World Series campaign in 2018, the Red Sox exhibited a high level of self-control and patience when it came to their work at the plate. This led to numerous clutch 2-out hits as well as using walks as an offensive weapon. Neither of those disciplines has been shown so far in 2019 and it’s ending the season before it can even start.
