Well Sox fans, its official, the Sox are struggling. Not much has seemed to go the Sox way during the second half of this 10 game home stand. And today was no different, Gavin Floyd was on the bump for the Sox and he didn't look to good. After making a bonehead play on a rundown between 3rd and home with Vernon Wells, he threw a wild pitch, which allowed Wells to score. After a Carlos Quentin Bomb in the bottom half of the 5th the Sox were within 2 runs posting a 3-1 score. Floyd came out in the 6th, got the first 2 guys, walked two and gave up a bomb. Needless to say at that point the game was over.
I have noticed that the pitching staff has been walking an abnormal amount of guys, it seems that they have been struggling to record the 3rd out of the innings this year. Which makes it frustrating when they work hard for the first two outs and let up on the third. That should not happen nearly as much as it has been. The defense continues to struggle, after today they have recorded 15 errors in 14 games, which is sickening.
It just comes down to fact that the team is struggling all around; nothing is really clicking or bouncing our way. These slumps happen during the season all the time, lets just be glad we're getting it out of the way early. Once the weather warms up and the bullpen guys find their roles and settle in, they'll start winning games. Just hang in there Sox fans, everything will improve. Like I've been saying, we just need to hang in there around the top of the division and come May, when the weather warms up, so will the team.
Hang in there everyone. Its still really early, we'll start rolling soon. Just keep supporting them and you will be rewarded with wins soon.
