No, I have not. Show me a single post where I said that he was having a bad start. He has followed the blueprint of what I have always said that he needs to do to be successful, i.e. keep the ball in the park and not allow multiple HRs or multiple run HRs. Re-read my posts.
Get a grip Maxie, the thread has not been that critical of Porcello, and no one has said that he is having a bad game. He needs to work out of trouble here after getting the lead, but Farrell doesn't trust him to do it.
I didn't throw him under the bus this game at all. I have always said that if he can keep it to 1 HR, he should win the game. If he gives up a couple, we should still compete, but when he gives up 3 or he allows 10 plus hits, we are toast.
If we win tonight, and split with the Yankees over the weekend, the Division is ours. Of course, one thing we have bee good at is resurrecting the Yankees.
Speaking for myself, I loved Manny dreadlocks and all except for the one-week each year that he decided that he wanted to be traded. As for the Hispanic second baseman, how dare he appropriate white - privilege to himself.
