Analysis: Officially eliminated from playoffs, Red Sox couldn’t overcome their obvious flaws

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:37:20 GMT

In the end, the Red Sox were exactly who we thought they were.Entering the season, the prevailing opinion among outside observers was the Red Sox were an average club who might show improvement from 2022’s last place showing, but ultimately one that wasn’t good enough to take a meaningful leap towards contention.Now officially eliminated from playoff contention and trending towards a 79-83 finish, the Red Sox have unfortunately proven all their doubters right.What went wrong? The Red Sox did make meaningful progress in a number of key areas, but the club was ultimately undone by several fatal flaws, many of which were apparent to anyone paying attention as early as this past winter.Inadequate starting pitchingBy allowing Nathan Eovaldi, Michael Wacha and Rich Hill to walk, the Red Sox took a calculated risk that their young starters would be capable of stepping up to fill the void. That bet did not pay off.His most recent start aside, Brayan Bello has been everything the...

Add parents’ jobs to the mix, it all can feel just so … chaotic.But with a little planning, it’s possible to get a nutritious family meal on the table, at least some of the time, while also pinching your pennies. It’s even better if you can get family members to help with the chopping, stirring, plating...
