It’s a tie for the Braves.

Losing 4 of 5 against the Mets in a series in New York. The division felt over at that point. Fought back to within a half game, and then lose so much ground back. Thankfully the team played out of their minds from that point on and won then final 6 of 7 games against the Mets

The other was throwing away a chance at going the full season with no sacrifice bunts for the team all season, but then they took the bat out of Michael Harris Jr’s hands and had him bunt with runners on first and second with none out. It was a waste, and no runs were scored that inning. I could have killed everyone involved when that happened. If you’re not bunting for a hit, don’t bunt
 
Paying half a billion dollars for a couple of <.250 hitters. Promising young players took a step up though.
 
Where do I begin ... the high point is a Detroit rallying cry ... NEXT YEAR!!!!
 
Losing the opening day game to the lowly Reds.
 
The whole month of July. Red Sox started the season out slow at 13-21 and played well enough to find themselves at 43-33 going into July. It felt like for a while that this was going to be the most crucial month for the Sox with this slate:

3 @ CHC
3 vs TB
4 vs NYY
4 @ TB
3 @ NYY
3 vs TOR
4 vs CLE
3 vs MIL

They went 8-19. The only series they didn't lose were the 4-game sets against the Yankees and Guardians, which they split. It didn't help that the majority of the rotation was injured and they had to call up the likes of Winckowski, Bello, Seabold and Crawford. Eovaldi missed the first half of the month and Sale only made two starts before his season ended. Aside from Crawford (who eventually struggled in August before a shoulder injury ended his season), the rotation was not able to hold up (went from a 2.91 ERA in June to 7.09 in July) and the bullpen completely fell apart on top of it (went from a 3.20 ERA over 84.1 innings to 5.53 in 122 innings). The Sox gave up 6.7 runs per game for the month, which is especially bad with scoring across the league down. The Sox quickly went from having one of the best run differentials in the AL (+62 at the time) to -15 in the span of a month. Just a complete bed shitting.

August and September also sucked but apathy had already set in.
