"The Boston Red Sox are 1-4 after a full turn of the rotation and are once again looking for Garrett Crochet to play the part of the stopper."
"Mathematically, the first five games count as much as the last five but the impact seems even larger because there are no other games on the season record to hide a run of four poor performances."
"Willson Contreras is a veteran. He's a career .257/.352/.458 hitter over his 11 years in MLB. How many times over a five-game span has he gone gotten two hits or fewer? 172."
"Trevor Story? He's not piling up big starts in five games all the time either. In 2016 he had six home runs in the first five games of the season."
The Boston Red Sox are struggling at the start of the season with a 1-4 record, despite having a projected strong rotation. Garrett Crochet is expected to help turn things around. Players like Connelly Early showed promise, while others like Sonny Gray and Ranger Suárez faced challenges. Willson Contreras, a veteran hitter, has had inconsistent performances in early seasons, but is expected to have a typical year. Trevor Story's performance has also varied significantly in past seasons, indicating unpredictability in early games.
