Red Sox Aim to Reclaim Fenway Advantage After Home Struggles

As the Boston Red Sox prepare for their 2025 home opener at Fenway Park against the St. Louis Cardinals, fans express a mix of skepticism and hope due to the team's recent struggles at home. The Red Sox have a .500 record at Fenway since 2019 and a disappointing 77-85 mark over the last two seasons, prompting a push to improve their home performance with new additions like Alex Bregman and Kristian Campbell. Manager Alex Cora is optimistic that the revamped lineup, which aims to better exploit Fenway's unique dimensions, will lead to a turnaround. Meanwhile, the bullpen has shown promise early in the season with a 2.12 ERA, easing concerns after the absence of Liam Hendriks. Fans like Mike O’Brien remain loyal despite recent disappointments, hoping this season brings renewed success. The Red Sox are eager to reclaim their home-field advantage and start their journey in the right direction with a strong performance against the Cardinals.
