Porcello was absolutely dealing today. He was tough in the first three innings, but was completely dominant after that as he retired 14 batters in a row.
Overall great start by this kid. This is the reason why he is one of the top pitchers on everyone's prospect lists. He has great stuff and can flat out pitch.

What I've been most impressed with so far is his ability to get quick outs with that sinking fastball. It gets him so many easy groundballs which result in quick outs. Obviously strikeouts are nice, but when he's getting so many quick outs after only a pitch or two like he was today, he can keep his pitch count down and go deeper into games.
Not to mention the fact that that sinking fastball got him grounders which led to a pair of inning-ending double plays in the first three innings.
The kid is tough. He showed that today.
Lot of jamming going on.

He was awesome today. Wish he could have got a few more K's for the sake of my fantasy team, but he was alot of fun to watch.

And it's now official as the bullpen held it down, Rick Porcello has secured his first major league victory.

Giving up 4 runs in a start (especially for a 20 year old making his ML debut) isn't exactly what I would call sucking.
Today's performance was more along the lines of what everyone says he can and will do in the majors. Retiring 14 in a row especially when you're facing some pretty tough veteran hitters like Ichiro and Ken Griffey Jr is pretty impressive for any major league pitcher, let alone a 20 year old.
I'm already excited to watch his next start later this week.

Fantastic start by Porcello, I knew he had it in him. This kid can pitch...sure he doesn't have the high K's but apparently he didn't need them tonight. Very impressive
I knew I picked him for my team for a good reason!

That's awesome. It's crazy to think I was listening to him pitch last year in High A and now he is in the majors.
Two starts into his pro career and you can already see it emerging that he is much more a Brandon Webb type (ground balls) than a Josh Beckett type (strikeout) pitcher. This is pretty much what most scouts were saying and it so far it looks like they were spot on.
