Why one bad month means more for this year’s Red Sox
COMMENTARY
Three cities, three walkoff losses, 3-7.
Whether it’s early is a subjective debate, and whether the Red Sox are more than that feels like settled science. But that’s an irrelevant discussion, isn’t it?
The onus is on them to prove they’re enough more than this for anyone to care, their bosses included. And the time is now, as it was before this weekend and will be into the winter and whatever comes next.
This was always going to be a test: A 10-game road trip to finish off a run of 17 games in 17 days, both of those matching Boston’s longest on the schedule. But that didn’t have to mean a we’re-letting-Kevin-Plawecki-pitch-level debacle.
