Red Sox Struggle Early, Fans Stay Calm

0:00On March 31st, Boston Red Sox sitting at 1 win and 3 losses after that 8-1 beat down by the Houston Astros on Monday night. The offense looks asleep at the wheel, and the big offseason pitching adds like Ranger Suarez had a rocky debut, giving up too many homers on the mound. Earlier this week, Suarez wasn't alone in the struggle. Newcomers Sunny Gray and Johan Ovieto also came out flat in their first starts, making the rotation look shaky just 4 games in. It's clear the team built heavy on starters, but not every night is a gem. Fans are grumbling about these key pickups underperforming, especially infielder Caleb Durbin, who's 0 for his first 14 at bats, with some. Tough outs, and a defensive misscue in the opener. Catcher Wilson Contreras is just 1 for 13, though he's drawing walks and smashing balls right at fielders. No need to hit the panic button yet, though. These panic meters are low across the board. Suarez at 4 out of 10, Durbin at 3, Contreras barely a 1 because it's only 2% into the season.

1:07Vets like these guys shake off small slumps all the time. Red Sox Nation, Breathe Easy, with 158 games left, expect these newcomers to heat up and turn this slow start into just A. Footnote, that's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI.
