Scattered thoughts after an abysmal season comes to a close

It’s over. The 2020 Red Sox season can’t hurt us anymore. The general consensus coming into this bizarre, shortened season for the Red Sox was that they’d hang around at the bottom of the playoff race, hovering around the .500 mark. That indeed would have been enough to hang around in the postseason picture, but the Red Sox were worse than expectations. While more than half the league takes part in postseason action, Boston will be at home to watch with the rest of us. Even in a shortened season that was undeniably atrocious, there’s a lot to unpack.
