Those were supposed to be the backbone of their better defense. Part of the problem is that the pitching staff really isn’t the type to take advantage of good defense. There’s no groundball pitcher there, mostly just strong strikeout pitchers
Also Roberts had a back injury too, so the combination of that has allowed him to play in one or two games this season.
But it’ll be ok. The team has already matched their win total against the Sox last season and may be able to get the sweep (the Os improving could be a problem for the BoSox. That’s the team they beat up against the last few years to get into the postseason)

I mean that pitching(the blosux) staff that’s geared towards run prevention . What a joke !
