Allowing the double steal was all part of the plan

Our fundamentals have been terrible, only one error but our defense has been terrible I get it but let’s not complicate things. Ort is a career 6+ era guy with a career FIP more towards 5, is 31 with no projection. He is trash He’s not great, but our defense has been putrid, there were legit 4-5 miscues in that inning alone. He gave up one hard hit ball that inning, that’s not on him. Once he starts giving up walks and bombs then we should get on his case

Kaleb Ort is perfectly acceptable as an up and down reliever
Stuff is pretty good

All,

If this team flops for any length of time, this will be a very different team by the end of the season.

Naw, wait until they get out of this tough stretch of their schedule. 😬

Well I don't *love* that they got swept by the Pirates at home. Not that I think it reveals the essence of the team or anything, but there are only about 7 teams that are not in the race from day 1 this season (DET, KC, OAK, WAS, PIT, CIN, COL), and they only play I think 31 games against those teams. They gotta fatten up on that part of the schedule, so the 0-3 start is bad news.
Pirates do look like they might be on the upswing though. It's possible that they're actually kinda good this year - enough to hang around in the wild card race for a while at least.

I am jumping off the Cora train. These fundamentals are a shat show.

Average hitting and elite defense tends to get you a 3.5, don’t know what to tell you! Just tell me it over rates defense. Idk if you have watched the Sox this year but defense is certainly not overrated

Back to back decent starts from starters for the first time all season and the bats disappear for the first time all season. If only they could have moved the opening day runs to the last couple days.

Agreed. The Pirates look fun. Strong bullpen, some impressive you g arms, Reynolds, some kids. That is not a pushover. But a sweep still hurts.

I’m starting to think this team peaked in early March! Never a good sign.

I prefer to look at the bright side. They should be 1 and 5 but they are 2 and 4. It is hard to imagine them playing this bad defensively the whole season. They should be getting some pitching help soon. It is only one homestand no reason to jump off the cliff yet.

If only they could have moved the opening day runs to the last couple days. It's early but perhaps the awful opponent pitching of the first three games gave us an inflated confidence in the bats? I'm waiting until 40 games in (1/4 of the season) to prognosticate here, but to get swept by the Pirates - at home no less - is...not good.

For all three games, I want to see the Sox run up the Pirates starters pitch counts. Wanna see and saw don't match.
