There are several guys on the Red Sox team who have not shown up offensively yet.
Jacoby Ellsbury has not been on base enough.
David Ortiz has been sporadic, not to mention a ground out today with the tying runs on base against a right-handed pitcher.
Youk is struggling mightily as are Salty & Cody Ross.
Other than Beckett & a snake-bitten Buchholz, the Sox should be 4-2 if the offense scores its usual 5.5 runs per game.
Yes, the back-end of the bullpen cost us 2 games. But, overall, the offense is underperforming. I would rather see more bunting to get runners in scoring position than these useless ground outs that don't advance runners.
What happened to those patient hitters who wore out pitchers? What happened to the team that scored the most runs last year?
