BOSTON — Have you resigned to the Red Sox having a repeat of their last two seasons after they fell one game under .500 in their seventh game of 2016? Then David Ortiz has some words for you.
There’s no doubt Boston’s 9-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday was a bad one, but the Red Sox slugger doesn’t think there’s any reason to be panicking.
“Are you panicking?” Ortiz asked a reporter after Tuesday’s game. “Go home and buy a black cat then. That means you’re scared. … No pain, no gain. It’ll be fine. It’s early. That’s what I believe. I know our pitching staff is going to bounce back and put it together. It’s a matter of time.”
You heard the man, Red Sox fans. The team is 3-4 with 155 games to play, so sit back, and let the rest of the season unfold.
