These past two nights, we’ve gotten a glimpse of what this team could look like with things going right. Strong pitching performances by Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, backed by an offense that at worst grinds down opposing pitchers and at best can be explosive,...

There’s just not a whole lot that can be said after a club gets swept by the worst team in baseball. Maybe “worst team in baseball” is a bit unfair to the Baltimore Orioles, but they earned that title by entering the weekend’s series at 4-18 (.181 winning percentage)....
