As I said last week, #RedSox Nation can't hang on the rim over a sweep at #Royals. True to form, the Sox are looking a lot like they did before that series, just unable to score runs, striking out, leaving too many runners on base as this unentertaining season drags on.

#RedSox have had losing seasons at home in 4 of the last 7 seasons (2019-25).

The Sox are now 132-134 (.496) at home since 2023. They a 1 of just 8 #MLB teams with losing home records in that time (also #Royals, #Marlins, #Angels, #Nationals, #Athletics, #Rockies and #WhiteSox).

Despite the sugar-high of a series sweep at #Royals, #RedSox Interim Manager Chad Tracy insists, "The offense has, over the last week been pretty darn good." Says, "I thought we did a good job once [Taj Bradley] was out of the game of giving ourselves opportunities."
Looking for what? In #MLB, only #Royals (2159) have swung at fewer in-zone pitches than these #RedSox (2181).
