4-24-08: Porcello
Thursday, April 24th, 2008Rick’s day is done. 5.1 innings, 4 hits, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4K. He sailed through the first 4, allowing only 9 ground outs and 3 k’s, but seemed to lose his command in the 5th. He’s still getting tired early I think, but that’s to be expected. Overall performance today was exceptional until that […]

Porcello pitching today
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Probable Lakeland Flying Tiger pitcher Rick Porcello is once again pitching for the big club today, as the Detroit Tigers take on the Cleveland Indians in a split-squad game in Winter Haven.
