The Boston Red Sox obviously haven’t lived up to expectations so far this season. The Red Sox lost against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, 5-0, to drop their record in the season to 28-32 through 60 games.

With his Red Sox performing well below expectations, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow spoke for roughly 13 minutes about his 28-32 club prior to Saturday’s 5-0 loss to the Braves.

For days, the Red Sox have circled Sunday’s series finale against the Braves as the day rookie Kristian Campbell would make his debut at first base. That isn’t happening, however.

The Boston Red Sox were hit with some shrewd gamesmanship from the Atlanta Braves on Friday before the game even started.
