I’ve only got a few minutes here as I’m getting ready to enjoy today’s Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays games but I wanted to take a minute to talk about last night’s game.
If you were watching last night’s game and trying to figure out who the starting pitcher for the Red Sox was that was so dominating on the mound, yes it was Daisuke Matsuzaka. This was the Dice-K which we probably haven’t seen since the 2008 season when he went 18-3.
After struggling in his past two starts, he was an entirely different pitcher last night. Instead of nibbling with his pitches like normal, Dice-K attacked the strike zone with his fastball and mixed in his other pitches well. You have to wonder why he doesn’t do this all the time but we can only hope this gives him the confidence to do it again as he moves forward.
As I said, I’m heading over to the Fens for today’s game so there won’t be a lineup post but you can get those over at Extra Bases.
