Carl Crawford has been abysmal so far this season for the Boston Red Sox. He has swung and missed at countless pitches and struggled to time breaking balls.
He has not had the opportunity to steal bases because he has only been on base a handful of times, and Red Sox fans are beginning to panic that their team’s multimillion-dollar investment might not pay off.
Fans are concerned that Boston’s big market or the change to Fenway Park has negatively affected Crawford.
Yet slow starts are part of baseball. Just like the Red Sox started 0-6 but then won two of three against the New York Yankees, Crawford will begin to turn his season around in the near future.
