Grade is weighted against preseason expectation while factoring in how and whom they’ve played.

Using their own criteria, I would give the Sox an A-, considering injuries. Still quietly winning ball games.
I think vibes are excellent after ending the month 7-3. Maybe they wrote this two weeks ago.
ESPN always hating on us because they ain’t us.
This raises an interesting question: who gives a shit what anyone at ESPN thinks about anything?
Can you link the article? And Was this article using C as average?
Wilyer Abreu will end you for this
This is dumb. Maybe April was a fluke, but they ended the month within a half game of the wild card and with the best ERA in MLB. How is it not (at least) a solid B. They are grading based on expectation.
Can we start to believe yet?
I’d give them a damn A for not getting buried by injuries and cheap ownership in the off-season.
Ask me before the season and I would say F-. They’re doing good
Using injuries against them in a grade is like having a teacher give you a c+ on a paper after you broke both hands but still managed to get a well written paper in, on time, but your handwriting was bad. Of course the handwriting is bad, I don’t have any fucking hands Mrs. Anderson.
Please shit on this team more, ESPN, only for them to prove you wrong!
An ESPN personality doesn’t know why guys get hurt playing baseball. They don’t care about the sport.
Best pitching in MLB this year so far….
Solid hitting and defense despite a catastrophic string of injuries.
Three games (now four) over .500
How in gods name is that only a C+
Oh wait ESPN is based out of the NYC area. We could be 29-0 and still only get a B.
I prefer the Riley Reid take from yesterday afternoon…
Cs get degrees!
I don’t give a shit what ESPN has to say about baseball cause they haven’t even cared about baseball for over a decade
Is the breaking ball usage the cause of the injuries though
16-13 despite a shitload of injuries seems better than C+?
