It's early in the season for the Boston Red Sox, but the start couldn't really be any worse.
As of today the Red Sox are 24th out of 30 teams in MLB, 11th out of 15 teams in the American League, and eight games back in the AL East. They are in 4th place just one game better than the Orioles, a team with ownership often cited as fielding a Triple-A team.
Again, it's early, only a month into the season, but the problem is the gaps is only growing between the Red Sox and the division leading Yankees. If the fall continues then they will soon be out of reach, baring some sort of meltdown. Many are getting worried.
#RedSox are more games out of first place (7.5) than every other team in baseball outside of the Orioles (8), Nationals (8) and Reds (11.5).

The offense is almost non-existent.Red Sox continue to look like a team that's unfocused, lacks discipline and doesn't do the little things right. Very uncharacteristic of an Alex Cora-led team.

Even a super fan has noticed that players from last year are out performing the entire Red Sox lineup offensively.The bottom five hitters in Boston's lineup tonight are all hitting under .195.

It's a real mess right now and one of the Red Sox biggest critics was loud and clear.Kyle Schwarber has more than double the amount of home runs as the Red Sox team leader.

The 2022 Red Sox thus far are a disgrace. Bottom line is all that matters. And the phony fallback is"they've won 4 championships in this century,'' Swell. This is a team of rejects and scrap heap roster players. While fans pay top prices in baseball.
