The Pink Sox’s season has not gone as they’d hoped to this point, and it appears to be impacting the clubhouse.
Outfielder Rob Refsnyder admitted, “We suck proper now,” after crew’s 3-2 loss to the Brewers on Memorial Day that leaves Boston at 27-29, good for fourth place within the AL East.
The Sox are 7.5 video games behind the division-leading Yankees and a pair of.5 video games out of the final AL wild-card spot.
“I’m uninterested in shedding, uninterested in shedding shut video games,” Refsnyder, a former Yankee, informed reporters after the crew’s third straight loss. “We simply must determine it out and win some video games. Backside line.”
The 34-year-old continued to vent after he was requested about frustrations being amplified once they lose regardless of a robust efficiency from offseason commerce acquisition Garrett Crochet, who took the loss Monday regardless of giving up two runs in 6 ⅔ innings on 5 hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts.
“It’s disappointing that we will’t come via for him,” Refsnyder mentioned after the Sox went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring place within the defeat. “It’s not for a scarcity of effort or work ethic, game-planning. We’re simply not doing it. We suck proper now. We’ve simply acquired to be higher.”
Third baseman Alex Bregman, whose signing on a three-year, $120 million contract led the Pink Sox to maneuver star Rafael Devers to DH in a transfer he initially expressed displeasure about, was positioned on the IL over the weekend with a quad damage.
Bregman has 11 house runs, 35 RBIs, a .299 common and .938 OPS in 51 video games this season.
Issues haven’t gone effectively for one more high-priced free agent, Trevor Story, who has six house runs, 21 RBIs, a .222 common and .594 OPS in 52 video games.
Story, 32, is within the fourth yr of a six-year, $140 million contract.
And whereas Crochet has been nice, the remainder of their rotation has been inconsistent at greatest.
Refsnyder, a reserve outfielder, is hitting .314 with a .981 OPS in 59 plate appearances this yr and had two walks in Monday’s loss.
The Pink Sox play the Yankees for the primary time this season beginning June 6 in The Bronx.
