1. Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox were swept by the second worst team in MLB at Fenway Park. If that’s not disappointing, nothing is.
Baltimore didn’t just sweep Boston, they did it convincingly. The Orioles shut out the Red Sox on two hits in the season opener that happened a day later than scheduled due to rain. Game two saw Matt Harvey look as good as he’s looked in years, striking out four while giving up two across 4.2 innings.
The final game of the series saw Baltimore put an exclamation point on the weekend, lighting up Boston starter Garrett Richards for six runs across two innings en route to a 11-3 victory.
Bobby Dalbec, Alex Verdugo, Xander Borgarts and Enrique Hernandez combined to go 2-43. That is not a typo. Two hits in 43 at bats. JD Martinez was the lone bright spot, going 6-12 with two home runs.
There has been nothing for Red Sox fans to be excited about so far. From rain causing the season opener to get postponed, to being dominated most of the weekend, the only appropriate word to use to describe the Boston Red Sox is disappointing.
