How can you not be worried?

So I don't really understand why people are not worried with a 0-5 start for the Red Sox this season. Now granted it isn't the end of the world, thats not what I am saying. Nor does a 0-5 start mean that the Red Sox will not do fantastic this year. But at any point in the year if the sox went into a 0-5 slide, including 2 losses to the sickening bad Cleveland Indians, people would be up in arms.

The fact that none of our starting pitchers have made it through a game (even a short 4-5 innings) without letting up at least 3 runs. That doesn't concern anyone? Why doesn't that concern anyone??

37 runs have been scored against us
Our two best starting pitchers have an ERA of 5.40 each.
Jon Lackey has an ERA of 22.09....22.09 ERA? How can any Red Sox fan not be worried our second pitcher has an ERA of 22.09??

All I am saying is that there is def a reason for concern, not panic, but concern!!

Welcome back baseball?

That was the worst opening series of baseball that I have seen from the Red Sox ever. Ouch. Lets break it down

Cons:
10 Homeruns allowed over three nights
26 runs allowed over three games

Saltalamachia:
Hopefully just coincidence that the pitchers have allowed 10 hr over three games. If not he better get his head in the game.

Pros:
Adrian Gonzalez:
.385 batting average
5 hits over 3 games
1 stolen base

David Ortiz
.333 Batting average
2 Hr (the first two games!)
4 RBI's

Dustin Pedroia
Able to walk and seems to show no ill effect from injury


Take heart Red Sox nation, after starting 0-3, getting outscored 21-6 the 1998 New York Yankees went 114-44 to win the world series
