WEEKRECORDRANKCOMMENT
Week 8 20-21 16 Josh Beckett has been dominant over his past two starts, as he's 2-0 with a 0.61 ERA during that span. -- ESPN.com
Week 7 15-19 23 One of the keys to Felix Doubront's success is that he has given up only three home runs in his seven starts (38 1/3 innings pitched). -- ESPN.com
Week 6 11-16 24 Unlike last season, when everyone knew things would even out and get better, this season just doesn't have that feel. The Red Sox have so many injuries, and until the starters can right themselves things will stay bad. -- Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the AL
Week 5 10-11 10 The pitching was much better last week. The starters went 5-1 with a 4.00 ERA, but the relievers were the real surprise with a 1.06 ERA. The Red Sox will need more of that to keep winning games. -- Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the AL
Week 4 4-10 24 Red alert! Iceberg straight ahead! It's been the absolute worst start possible for a Red Sox team coming off what happened last year. I never imagined April 23 as the date I would start to hear talk of, 'How much more before Bobby V gets fired?' but it's happening already. -- Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the AL
Week 3 4-5 15 The loss of Jacoby Ellsbury is huge and means a starting outfield of Cody Ross, Darnell McDonald and Ryan Sweeney. The good news is offense is not what has hurt the Red Sox of late. -- Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the AL
Week 2 0-3 15 Josh Beckett allowed more home runs (five) in his first start of the season on Saturday than he did in all of his starts in April and May combined last season (three HRs allowed in 11 starts). -- ESPN.com
Week 1 0-0 6 A season that ended in turmoil and an offseason that didn't make things any better by losing the manager and GM will quickly be forgotten by a fast start. If the Red Sox can avoid another poor start the attention will be on baseball and not all the other stuff. -- Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the AL
