Dice-K Game #3
Northern Touch.
Dice-K Matsuzaka and his gyroball travels to the great white north for the first time as the Toronto Blue Jays play host to special-K and the Sox. The team is coming off a sweep of the Angels and look to keep the bats on fire as Gustavo Chacin and the Jays try to douse the fire that is contained within the loins of Daisuke Matsuzaka… …?
Pre-Game: No cold. This is good.
Inning #1 - 3 up, 3 down. Rios, Lind, Wells.
Inning #2 - 3 up, 3 DOWN! Thomas, Overbay, Hill.
Inning #3 - One Hit. He looks solid. WHAT a FASTBALL!
Inning #4 - One hit, then a walk, Lugo duffed n easy double play to let in a run. It should be an error instead of an earned run. Dice mans in a bit of trouble but is staying calm. Loads the bases. The Thomas single seems to have frazzled him a bit. Walks in a run. The breaking ball doesn’t seem to have any break on it.A strikout then a fly out. WOW. Way to stay chill. I love this guy.
Inning #5 - Sit Down Rios, K #7! Lind, #8. Wells….SHABLAMMO!!!!!!! 9K’s
Inning #6 - Big Hurt, Big Strikeout! That ties the 10 K’s from his first start. Ground out by Overbay. Hill Flies out, a repeat of the 2nd inning.
Thats it for Dice-k. 105 pitches, 6 Innings, 2 ER. I like. Maybe not sexy time but it’s good. Lets see if Japanese countrymen Okajima can close this beeatch!
Heres his game stats:
