Expand I didn’t think ST records mattered but the Sox are trying to prove some correlation between sucking in ST and sucking in the regular season. Read my recent posts on this. So when the Sox 2025 regular season record looks as bad as their previous record, and the Padres do much better, I guess we will know the answer. But does it truly mean that ST records don’t matter or is it just that the Sox roster has been so historically bad the past two seasons that they are equally bad in both ST and the regular season?
