Has Red Sox pitching started this poorly ever?

It’s incredibly bad. On the bright side, Sox are scoring a lot of runs. Duval is leading the league in avg and RBI’s. Yoshida hit a HR today and has looked decent thus far.

The last two games have been disappointing.  On the positive side, the games took two hours 36 minutes and two hours 32 minutes.  That’s a huge improvement.  The new rules are working and making the games much better to watch.

The hot start for the offense was an anomaly. What we've seen in these last three games against the Pirates is a much more accurate reflection of Boston's offense — it's bad. Which matches nicely with the bad rotation and bad defense. Boston will be lucky to get 80 wins this season.

I tend to agree with you. Not expecting much

Finally got a decent game out of a SP and they can’t score any runs. Smh.

80? I think we're more in line for 60. This team BLOWS. This starting rotation is the worst since... I don't even know. Probably the worst since I've been alive, and I'm 40.

The defense if awful, our hitting is mediocre. And we're in a good division. This is gonna be a long season. I hope this is a deliberate tank. Cause there's no other excuse for a team with these resources to be this terrible.

I actually signed up for a NESN+ annual subscription and got 4 free tickets. They probably couldn't give those things away.

if you're going to get embarrassed on a daily basis, better it happens in 2 1/2 hours than 4

It's a good thing the 2020 season was shortened due to the pandemic, because if we had to watch 162 games of that atrocity (especially the horrendous pitching staff), then yikes

After I posted my comment yesterday, I started thinking 70-75, but you could be right with 60, LOL.
