That's fair. It's all about opinion, which some won't let you have around here. Either the epic collapse makes for a terrible season, in which case 2011 is definitely worse than 2019, or season-long futility and underperformance make for a worse season, in which case 2014 and 2015 were worse. (2012 too, though that was less of an underperformance than just a shitshow from the beginning.) There's no logically consistent way to regard 2019 as the worst Sox season unless, as I mentioned elsewhere, you have the memory of a goldfish. The talent of the 2014 and 2015 teams were way worse. I can refute the reasons why again. Seriously, that 2015 rotation? This season was way worse in terms of letdown, both from management and the players.

Why can't you just let others have their opinions?

At least the MFY wont get 108 wins. That was item 1 on my MFY hate checklist. Now, they must lose in the LDS.

some team is going to get absolutely screwed in the AL wild card. It is easy seeing every team getting 95+ wins. That would be tough to lose out of the playoffs with such a great season.

If you want to see when I said Marco Hernandez isn't a good defensive player, look at that inning.

What the heck is Cora thinking? i mean, he'd already used most of his best pitchers to get to this point. But Smith does feel like a tank move

Time to tank for more draft money.

Time to tank for more draft money. They've been doing it for a while. Hey the 2019 Sox are doing something likeable for a change and losing when they need to. They can get as high as the 15th pick, if they keep up this pace.

They haven't moved. They are still 18th (they lose all the tiebreakers because of their record last year).

Devers HR was his 31st. Most ever by a Sox third baseman. Previous record was 30 by Butch Hobson in 1977.

Is the difference in money or player available that great b/t 15th and 18th pick to be an incentive to tank? They've gone to Smith at various times this year and they were essentially out of pitching ammo last night. They didn't start Smith. It seems to me that this is the time of year to better evaluate your players and that's what they are doing playing Owings etc. If it were a true tank, would the Sox be playing Bogey, Mookie, JD, RAF? The foot may be off the gas but I don't see that as tanking.

How many games has the bullpen lost us this year? 31? That's a bit simplistic since 3/5 games are bullpen games.

That was a gorgeous 3 run HR by Vazquez.
