How are you feeling about the Red Sox bullpen?
BOSTON, MA - APRIL 07: Zack Kelly #76 of the Boston Red Sox reacts while walking back to the dugout after pitching in the seventh inning during the game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts.

It was a close one, and another game where the bullpen played a key role. Holding onto leads has been tough for the Sox so far. Like, real tough: 8 of the last 11 times the Red Sox have scored in an inning, they've allowed runs in the next half inning.
One of those was in the bottom of the ninth, so there was no next half inning. https://t. co/BqDHUU4vo8 pic.

The Red Sox front office treated it like it wasn’t much of a concern this offseason, but bullpens have a way of luring you into a false sense of security.
Talk about the pen or whatever else you want in this space and, as always, be good to one another.
