The Red Sox did pretty okay (pretty okay?) in April, so let's dig in: top (and bottom) three Red Sox hitters, and deep-diving on the starting rotation and some reasons for optimism going forward
Gonna cop out here as well and say that they basically are where I thought that they would be to start the year. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the hitters and parts of the bullpen, but that feels cancelled out by some (not unexpected) negatives in the rotation. So three games above .500 is pretty much to be expected in my humble opinion.
That's an extremely reasonable take, Donnel. I think I agree. I do think that there's some upside here though, and especially so if Connor Wong never gets out again.
Sorry you are dealing with Covid yet again. Yeah, who would have thought our best option at short might be Chang and then he goes down and Duran would come up and do well? If they could even get MLB average starting pitching they just might compete. Certainly been more fun than originally anticipated.

Best of luck recovering from Covid! I am pleasantly surprised by Sox’ record and to date they are interesting to watch which is not
something I could say last season
