HOUSTON — Whoever is making Rick Porcello crawl back into his 2015 time machine instead of the 2016 model, just stop.
It’s become almost a cruel joke to watch Porcello go all Benjamin Button on himself and revert to the bad form he had two seasons ago, rather than build upon or at least come close to the form of a year ago, when he turned that 2015 frown upside down with a Cy Young campaign of post-to-post domination.
Last night, Porcello got shelled for the third start in a row.
Porcello’s ERA after 15 starts stands at 5.
