The Boston Red Sox are in last place in the American League East and are fighting to play catch-up just a month-plus into the season.

Why does Alex Cora put Matt Barnes into high-leverage situations? Is putting Garrett Whitlock into the Red Sox rotation and moving Tanner Houck to the bullpen the right decision for Whitlock and the team? Why didn't Chaim Bloom acquire solid bullpen help in the offseason?!

NESN's Lauren Campbell continues to go off about the lack of offense and patience the Red Sox have shown in their two losses against the Chicago White Sox on Friday and Saturday and provides updates on Chris Sale and James Paxton.
