The losses just keep on piling up for Rick Porcello as he leads the American League with 14 and counting.
Porcello’s Cy Young season was simply a baseball anomaly, as he has reverted back to what he always was in pitching. Porcello will eat up innings, take the ball for a regular turn, give up a bundle of hits and give you a slight chance of winning. A solid middle of the rotation pitcher.
The last Red Sox pitcher to lead the AL in losses was Tim Wakefield in 1997. Wake had a 12-15 record for a team that won just 78 games – you usually need a lousy team to lead in losses and the Red Sox had one.
