I know it is high season for both the Celtics and the Bruins (and really also for the Pats with the draft), but the Sox are about 1/7th the way through the season, 13-10, and their starters have the lowest ERA in the league. I was expecting starting pitching to be the biggest weakness, the biggest issue. That take turns out to have been completely wrong, at least so far.
The bullpen hasn't been so good. 16th in the league in ERA, 6 blown saves and 7 losses. Neither of Martin and Jensen have been up to expectation so far. I get the feeling that the bullpen will settle in and be fine. But so far, it has not been very good.
Hitting, we are 16th in OPS, 12th in runs. Not terrible. Defense is a big issue. BOS has given up 19 unearned runs. The next closest team is CWS at 14 unearned runs. BOS leads the league with 21 errors, NYY second most with 19 errors. So not only are there a lot of errors, they seem to be leading to a high amount of unearned runs (not all errors are created equal). The errors and unearned runs seems fixable.
