Scrutiny on Offense Now

Where's the offense been lately?  It hasn't shown up in the last 10 games as the Sox have scored only 24 runs, or 2.4 runs per game.  That's a far cry from the 5+ runs per game that this offense was expected to deliver on a regular basis.  Betts is slumping.  Pedroia is slumping.  Ortiz never got on track this year.  Hanley has zero homers this month.  Napoli is under .200.  Panda can't hit from the right side.  Bogaerts is a 1 for 4 kind of hitter.  Victorino has returned & he has produced in a short sample size.  Neither catcher is producing.  Part of the problem I see is the swing & miss on balls out of the strike zone.  Too much lunging for balls away that are not strikes.  Chilli Davis better get to work or he could be the next coach to get fired.
