The tactics of Andrew Bailey's pitch strategies have worked initially but are faltering as the season progresses, highlighting the need for evolving plans paired with talent.
Kutter Crawford being seen as a Cy Young contender was unrealistic; teams eventually adjust and expose weaknesses, leading to regressive performances for the Sox.
The Boston Red Sox's backloaded schedule caused them to face tougher competition later on, showing the detrimental effects of not having a secondary strategy.
Bailey's initial plan may have been effective, but it now appears as a temporary solution; without further strategic shifts, improvement seems unlikely.
