Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images So the Red Sox offense is in trouble. Two games in a row of absolutely ice cold bats against a team they should have taken to town. The Orioles? Who just fired their manager for underperforming beyond belief? This is the team you let gain momentum against you instead of the other way around? After you get past clean-up, it feels like a streak of guys who either are unproved (sorry Campbell and Mayer) or just not able to pull their weight in the dish.

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images This ISN’T a rubber match, like I’ve said for many a Sunday game thread, but an important one nonetheless. If this Red Sox team is going to take itself seriously this season, they need to take 3 out of 4 from struggling teams like the Orioles. An offensive drought like the nightcap of yesterday’s double header isn’t going to cut it.

The Red Sox had a very difficult time solving Cade Povich, but once the bullpen came in for the Orioles, it’s like the Sox had tennis rackets at the dish. A 13-runs scored 8th inning is the best all season by a country mile and a relief considering they scored 6 runs in the Mets series overall. Yet every rose has its thorns, and two stick out. Brayan Bello is not pitching well.

Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images Now that we’re through the deluge of rain that came cascading down all of yesterday, we’re back to baseball at Fenway Park! An awesome Memorial Day weekend series against the Orioles now kicks off with a doubleheader. This series feels so pivotal for the Red Sox against a struggling O’s squad: take 3 of 4 and the standings feel a lot more comfortable. Drop 3 of 4 and the direction of this team is in dire straights. What happens?
