Tanner Houck's disappointing performance during a key game against the Tampa Bay Rays has raised concerns for the Boston Red Sox. Despite his prior success as an All-Star, his spring training efforts indicated potential issues, culminating in a tumultuous regular-season game where he allowed 12 runs in just 2.1 innings. Manager Alex Cora expressed his frustration with the team's lack of preparation and consistency, emphasizing that poor defense, offense, and pitching are jeopardizing the team's performance. The team's recent struggle, losing three of its last six games, underlines the need for improvement across all aspects.
The defense has been bad. The offense has been bad. And we've been inconsistent pitching-wise. Those are the three pillars of baseball and we haven't been good.
It seems like there was a team that was prepared for the other one and the other one wasn't prepared for them... I'll take the blame because it seemed like our team wasn't ready to go.
