The Big Dick Rick thread

If Porcello didn't get that contract extension, he would be a free agent the year he won his Cy Young. That means we pay a lot more to keep him. Instead he is paid just right and within the window we're competing. I expect many fine years ahead for Porcello.

 

I would do Porcello's contract all over again any day of the week.

 

Whether he ultimately lives up to the deal or not, it was a good signing at the time it was made.

I loved the Porcello signing at the time, and love it more now.

I'm very anti-Porcello myself. But I like him so far this year, a big improvement over last year. For a while he was our ace. He has a good mixture of pitches, but none of them is really good, so he has to be careful about hitting his spots. The other four starters--Sale, Price, ERod, and Wright--have better stuff. He got hurt by Devers's error yesterday, also by how he fell down covering 1B (on an out),which allowed that guy to score from 2b on a ground out. If I gotta pick sides, I go with kimmi and moonslav.

Porcello had a lot more bad luck in that game beyond what you mentioned, but he's had a lot of run support this year, so I guess "luck" is relative.
