The Red Sox are rolling, but their closer problem is still no closer to a solution

COMMENTARY

Two weeks ago, I was nosing around the Red Sox site and discovered a sponsored video feature, “Homestand Highlights.” It’s simple enough: A little minute snippet of, well, highlights from a homestand.

I didn’t exactly stumble across its ‘Citizen Kane.’ It went so badly against the Angels and White Sox, they needed a run-scoring groundout to fill 59 seconds.

Across six games, two blown saves in the ninth, five losses, and 14 total runs. Heck, it ends with the ceremonial first pitch from WWE star Sasha Banks, who legitimately walked off her job last week.
