How bad are the 2020 Red Sox? What's a Mike Kickham? It starts a game today

Not even sure about that. They're pretty close in regards to record and pythagorean record. Red Sox offense is a lot better, but the Pirates don't have a historically bad pitching staff (just a mediocre one)

Meh, just chalk it up to PTSD. I’m so sick and tired of watching that damn team be completely pathetic year after year. At least this is just a down year for the Sox and you know they’ll bounce back in time.

With the Pirates? Just more suck to come.

Braves have a starters ERA of over 8, and that's with Max Fried.

Only thing keeping us going is we have scored the most runs in the league, and actually have a pretty good back end of the bullpen.

Tanner Houck providing some optimism in his first 2 starts. Still would like to see more of the splitter.
