"After all the preseason talk about our world-class rotation, let's just say that things are running counter to plan. Crochet's catastrophe of an outing in Minneapolis has received the lion's share of the headlines, of course, but he's not alone."
"Through April 13, the Red Sox were collecting errors at a slightly increased rate from 2025, when they led the league in errors for much of the season. It took four errorless games in a row to drive the rate down, if only slightly."
The Red Sox are experiencing a disappointing start to the 2026 season, with expectations unmet. The starting rotation has struggled, highlighted by Garrett Crochet's poor performance. Other pitchers like Ranger Suárez have shown slight improvement, but overall, the rotation has not lived up to preseason predictions. Defensive issues persist, with the team collecting errors at an increased rate compared to 2025. Despite a brief errorless streak, the team's defensive capabilities remain questionable, contributing to the overall sense of disappointment among fans.
