"The Red Sox were expected to contend for the AL East crown with the Blue Jays and Yankees in some combination. After the 3-8 start it's hard to imagine the Sox winning the division."
"Even if a genie who can tell the future with 100% accuracy were to tell us that the Red Sox will not win the AL East, that doesn't mean much. There are three Wild Cards!"
"As of about 10:30 Tuesday, the Red Sox are 2.0 games out of a Wild Card spot. The Blue Jays are 1 game out. The Orioles and Rays are both sitting at 5-6."
"Garrett Crochet looked good last night. Garrett Whitlock - who they didn't have over the weekend - looked good last night. Trevor Story hit the ball well last night."
The Red Sox began the season with a 3-8 record, raising concerns about their playoff chances. Despite this, historical examples show that early struggles do not preclude success. The team is currently 2 games out of a Wild Card spot, with notable performances from players like Garrett Crochet and Trevor Story. The Red Sox were expected to compete in the AL East, but even if they do not win the division, the presence of three Wild Card spots keeps their postseason hopes alive.
