After losing eight of their first ten games to start the season, the Boston Red Sox have stopped the bleeding, going 7-5 over their last 12 games.
However, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned about the Red Sox. They're last in homers, sixth in errors and several of their best players are struggling, from Roman Anthony and Jarren Duran to Garrett Crochet and Trevor Story.
On Monday, WEEI radio announcer Will Flemming joined "The Greg Hill Show" to discuss Boston's alarming start.
"It just is not going the way that it needed to go to start this season," Flemming said. "And I think the frustrating thing, Greg, is that a lot of the things that all of us worried about going into the season are coming true. When you did hit home runs and you don't really slug, it's really hard to win games... It's a really tough way to go."
