It’s hard not to feel like the Red Sox are in a really bad position after the first game of the ALDS against the Astros. Of course, it’s just one loss and while winning three of the next four against this incredibly talented Houston team is going to be tough, it’s far from impossible. Still, with the amount of things that went wrong in Game One — Eduardo Nuñez’ injury, Chris Sale’s performance, John Farrell’s awful managing, the offense disappearing for seven of the nine innings, etc — it certainly felt like it was more than a simple loss.
