The Red Sox have been no stranger to sluggish begins lately, however 2026 takes the cake. As April involves an finish, the crew has an abysmal 12-19 document, the supervisor’s been fired, hit pieces are starting to trickle out about the infighting, Garrett Crochet just landed on the IL, and the offense couldn’t hit water in the event that they fell out of boat. The notion of “it’s early” has gone from a comforting restoration of confidence to a risk they’re going to smash your complete summer season.
So with the Red Sox fortunately out of video games to play in April with right this moment’s off day, the query turns into: is this the worst Red Sox April of all time? By pure win proportion, that honor goes to the 1932 crew, which began 3-11 (baseball season began a bit later again then) on their solution to 111 losses. But that crew was alleged to be horrible. It was their 14th straight shedding season after successful the World Series in 1918. The 2026 crew was alleged to be good.

When I feel of latest underachieving Red Sox squads, my thoughts instantly goes to 2011 and 2019. That 2011 crew began off 0-6, however by the finish of April they have been beginning to steadiness issues out a bit and have been as much as 11-15. The 2019 crew in the meantime, which doesn’t get practically sufficient hate, was additionally 4 video games below .500 at the finish of April at 13-17. In different phrases, the 2026 Sox are nearly twice as many video games below .500 as these different two have been. The 2012 Bobby Valentine Sox? They have been 11-11 on April thirtieth. So yeah, this is depressing!
Talk about this and no matter else you’d like, and as all the time, be good to 1 one other (even when the Red Sox aren’t good to you)!
