Monday Morning Brushback: Bleh
Briefly

Last week's analysis of the Red Sox highlighted their recent struggles despite favorable game conditions. The team aimed to seize opportunities against weaker opponents like the Tigers, Braves, and Mets but faced setbacks, including a sweep by the Tigers and troubling errors on the field. Despite moments of brilliance, such as a thrilling comeback, the overall performance has not met expectations, particularly in close games. Jarren Duran's recent performance has also been a talking point, drawing mixed reviews as he has seen a decline in his batting performance since a strong early season start.
Regardless of what's happened so far this season, the Red Sox have a golden opportunity to carpe the hell out of some diems starting today.
What should've been a series victory in Detroit was ultimately a sweep at the hands of the Motor City Kitties on account of a pair of back-breaking walkoffs.
The record in close games continues to be a sore spot. Saturday night's comeback was electric, of course, but it represented just one game in a season that hasn't gone the way we had hoped thus far.
Outfielder Jarren Duran's 'controlled chaos,' in my own words, was brought up a few weeks ago following his daring steal of home plate in Cleveland.
