It's time for a Rick Porcello thread before he gets sent to Pawtucket for a mysterious injury or a glutenous addiction. Kidding aside, he's no handled his demons in the Blue Jays admirably in his first two starts. He didn't exactly "Wow" us, but he did enough to give the team a chance to win.
iayork wrote up a good piece today at the .com about the changes that Porcello made after he came back from his DL stint last year, and it's worth a read. Hopefully, he doesn't have to face the Blue Jays for a while and he can get his numbers under control, because I have high hopes he can be the Sox #2 and that Price will Wright the ship.

After he returned, Porcello ended the season with an unexpectedly strong set of eight games: 3.14 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, much more in line with the 2014 numbers (3.43 and 1.23, respectively) that prompted Ben Cherington to offer Porcello a four-year, $82.5 million contract extension in 2015.
