"The Red Sox took the last two of their three-game set with the Brewers, and they did it in the way they must until the lineup's various issues are resolved: with strong starting pitching."
"The Red Sox entered Wednesday's game 11th in the American League in runs (3.55 per game), 10th in batting average (.223), and a pathetic 13th in home runs (nine)."
"They are asking almost everyone in the lineup to be a little more than they are capable of."
"Trevor Story has struck out 122 times or more in seven seasons, including seasons of 191, 176 (last year), and 174."
The Red Sox have shown some improvement by winning two games against the Brewers, but their overall performance remains concerning. With a record of 4-8, they are on pace for only 54 wins. Their offensive statistics are poor, ranking 11th in runs, 10th in batting average, and 13th in home runs. The team is relying on players to exceed their capabilities, which could hinder their success. Trevor Story's placement in the lineup as a No. 2 hitter is particularly problematic given his history of strikeouts.
