*One of the most disturbing developments of the first two weeks of the Red Sox season is the team’s sloppy defensive play.
Heading into play Saturday, the Red Sox had made 19 errors, far and away the most of any team in the game. (The Athletics, with 10, were next among all AL teams). Worse, as was the case a year ago, opponents are taking full advantage of the Red Sox’ misplays when they happen — the Sox have already allowed a stunning 14 unearned runs; only one other MLB team had yielded as many as 10.
