The Red Sox Stink Out Loud Right Now, but Mitch Moreland is Starting Off the Year Hot

The Red Sox are off to a very slow start to their season, but the same cannot be said about Mitch Moreland. The first baseman picked up last year’s late-season heroics at the beginning of the 2019 season as he has delivered two late-game home runs that resulted in Red Sox wins. Moreland also homered in a blowout loss in Arizona and had another one to kick off the Fenway opener.



As of April 9th after the Fenway opener, Moreland is batting a mediocre .258 but has 4 home runs and 10 RBI’s. Not only that, but he has made some solid plays in the field that every first baseman might not make. He also has been the Sox go-to guy when they are looking for someone to get a big hit.



Should Sox fans be worried about the season yet? No, relax its April. However, they should be ecstatic with how Moreland has been playing to start the year. With Steve Pearce going down to start the year, Moreland got his opportunity to start the year at first base and took full advantage of it.



Let’s hope the Red Sox turn their season around sooner rather than later, but for now, we may as well be called the Boston Mitch Morelands. Anyways, enjoy this picture of him with some dogs. Pretty cool right?
