You know, this was a terrible season, and a lot went wrong, and (lots of ands) and I lost interest early because things just weren’t breaking our way. Now my but: this team appears to have stuck together, never embarrassed themselves, and I am still proud of them. It is easy to root for guys like X, Devers, Mookie, CVaz, and, yes, Porcello, who has been silent and reliable all these years. If you can’t tip your cap to these guys for being classy in a trying year, well.... seems like front running.
To 2020!!

There was no morals behind my Porcello post. It was a opinion about Rick Porcello and the one I had on him in his career here.
There was nothing sensitive about anything I posted about the somehow turned racism comments.
There are bad dudes everywhere. These same people who don't like watching bad dudes play, are better off not watching the sports in general. Bad dudes everywhere during the steroid era. Bad dudes everywhere in the NFL. You can't root for one NFL team without a player with a sketchy history about them.

You were going to find something to criticize him for not matter how he did, like you've been doing for awhile. I wish he could have had another Cy young season, so I could root for him. It's a cold world, you don't perform all year, you're going to hear about it. And when he pitches well, you can also criticize him for hurting the Red Sox' draft picks.

Aye, in the future I shan't make the mistake of shoving down your throat my backwards morals of a) attempting to be considerate with ones words with regards to a sensitve subject, b) not wanting violent abusers on the team I root for even if it improves their chance of winning, and c) not popping into the gameday thread just to be a dick to people who want a enjoy a player in his last day on the team. No, please do keep joining, if only to be a deterrent to the game day thread over negativity becoming the accepted opinion of the board, which cannot be questioned.

Kind of Porcello in a nutshell this season.

Do you see why one may question that?

Kind of Porcello in a nutshell this season. And you would have criticized him for doing the opposite, so forgive my not thinking that you ever have a reasonable opinion. It is my opinion that you can complain if a pitcher doesn't do well, but not also complain if that same pitcher does do well. I know, silly f'ing rules.

Do you see why one may question that? Lol when have I been a Chapman fan? I mock him all the time and laugh when the dude starts sweating in the ninth inning all the time. I recognize the talent he has, and I know who Porcello is as a pitcher in this league. So yeah, I don't know why people question that.

So yeah, I don't know why people question that. And if they were both on the Red Sox, we know damn well who you'd be defending and who you'd be criticizing. I would never accept Chapman or anyone like him on the Red Sox even if they never won another World Series for the next million years. If you argue with me over that, we see where you stand on domestic violence.

Check. Arguing is considered "bullying", only when pedrofan isn't the one arguing. Please let me have my opinion by not arguing with me.

I'm not bullying anyone, but there's no explaining that to you. Nice job of deflecting blame here though. Also LOL at you thinking I'm a idiot basically saying I don't understand a simple concept as irony. Whatever dude, I'm done here.

Of course not. Because everyone you've scared off isn't here to tell you. Do not dare argue with pedrofan, because you're in for 100 posts in a row until you give up.

It's crazy how many things went right this year for a season that went obviously sideways. Since going to the five-team divisions in 1994, this is the Red Sox fifth time finishing third. For the decade, they finished in first place four times, third place three times, and last place three times--they didn't finish second or fourth.

For the decade, they finished in first place four times, third place three times, and last place three times--they didn't finish second or fourth. This definitely feels like the 2006 team, like just a down season from a really talented group after a strong run. Hopefully 2020 nets the same results as 2007.

That 2006 team just collapsed though. They were 68-48 and ended up 86-76. They had Manny and Ortiz crushing it in the middle of the lineup, Papelbon with probably the best season by a Red Sox reliever in my lifetime (maybe Koji in '13 and Gordon in '98 would be the other options). The rotation really underachieved badly, with Schilling in the Rodriguez role of the only guy pitching consistently well, and Beckett as the Porcello innings eater who never quite got on track.
So I guess everyone should tune in Sunday for the Devern Hansack rain-shortened no-hitter.

thanks for everything, Rick! Porcello may have had first inning troubles historically and a poor year, but the guy always gave an honest effort and had uncommon class.

Porcello may have had first inning troubles historically and a poor year, but the guy always gave an honest effort and had uncommon class. He took the mound every fifth day, and if he hadn't, it would have been someone considerably worse. As rough as his season was, he still finished comfortably above replacement level. Is this America? I thought this was America? I need to shut up? Cool. This is a message board that you haven't been banned from for reasons passing my understanding. You're a guest in someone's house and they can throw you out whenever they please. Act like it.

[quote source="/post/399580/thread" timestamp="1569466345" sarasoxer: Porcello's performance this year was more that of a back end starter and not commensurate with his salary. He has always been at least a hit/inning guy notwithstanding his wonderful Cy Young year. His consistent first inning troubles were a mystery and often put us in a hole. Even so, he was an innings eater. When I said that he always gave an honest effort, that was a compliment and not a backhand. I like the guy personally. He is low key, humble, a team guy and not a me first guy. I think his high ERA, FIP and WHIP were a reflection of his less than dominant stuff, his always being around the plate and the juiced ball.

Devers 52nd double passes Wade Boggs (1989) for most doubles by a Sox 3rd Baseman.
