The Boston Red Sox<\/a> lost again on Monday night, dropping their series opener <\/a>against the Milwaukee Brewers\u00a08-6. It was the third straight loss for the Red Sox, dropping them to\u00a01-3 at Fenway Park this season and 2-8 overall.<\/p>\n

Boston fans have grown increasingly upset<\/a> with the team’s slow start over the last few days, booing the Red Sox and voicing their displeasure with the team’s poor play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his postgame press conference following Monday’s loss, Alex Cora addressed Boston fans’ frustrations<\/a> with a surprising response.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we love it here, because their expectations are up there with us,” Cora said. “And, right now, we deserve whatever they\u2019re thinking. We\u2019re not playing good baseball, and we know it.”<\/p>\n

Now in his eighth season managing the Red Sox, Cora is well aware of how passionate their fans are, especially after spending part of his playing career in Boston, too.<\/p>\n

The last-place Red Sox subjected their fans to another disappointing night of sloppy baseball on Monday. They got a second straight bad outing from Brayan Bello, two errors from their defense and a 2-for-12 showing with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Boston’s played a tough schedule so far, but it hasn’t helped that the Red Sox have often been beating themselves. They have the worst record in baseball, and their fans are growing more agitated with each loss.<\/p>\n

Cora and his players will try to bounce back and snap their losing streak on Tuesday behind Garrett Crochet, who will square off against Jacob Misiorowski in a must-see pitching duel.<\/p>\n
