The veteran perspective calls for a focus on tomorrow, but the Red Sox have faltered so dramatically that it will be difficult for them to recover now. But a winless road trip all but sealed their fate, with glaring weaknesses seemingly up and down the roster. Boston finished 25 games out of first place in 2014, rebuilt their rotation while adding a pair of pricey free agents (third baseman Pablo Sandoval and left fielder Hanley Ramirez), and was a trendy pick to contend for a division title.

It seems we’ve had some untimely days off, breaks, just as we are getting some momentum, and something obviously slows us down.” “We were playing pretty good baseball going into the (All-Star) break. “It’s tough,” said Red Sox left-hander Craig Breslow, who surrendered a walk-off home run to Astros second baseman Jose Altuve on Thursday night.
