Sox Roll Behind Daisuke's 8 Scoreless Innings

PrintSometimes you get good Daisuke, sometimes you get bad Daisuke. Tonight, it was definitely good Daisuke.
Throwing 112 pitches, Daisuke Matsuzaka went 8 innings without allowing a run. This was no Houdini act by Daisuke either, allowing only 6 baserunners on 4 hits and 2 walks. He racked up 5 strikeouts in the outing, transitioning to Daniel Bard, who allowed a meaningless solo shot before finishing off the Sox win, 4-1.
The offense was powered by Marco Scutaro, who made it on base 4 times with 3 doubles and a walk. He scored in the first inning on a long Kevin Youkilis sac fly, and in the second on a David Ortiz fielder's choice, when Papi beat the throw to first on what would have been an inning ending double play. Victor Martinez chipped in two hits and a sacrifice fly in his return to Cleveland, continuing his return to form from the left side of the plate.
With all the activity of draft night, the Red Sox went out and picked up a very workman-like win against a tough starter. Game 2 will see Tim Wakefield take on David Huff in a battle of the greater-than-6 ERAs.

So Vitek or Renfroe ?
Who’s the better one since they’re both 3b.
When life gives you questions, Google has answers.
Good question
Though Vitka can play both CF and 2B.

Different levels though.
Renfroe is very young.

Learn never to expect anything in a MLB draft.
Informal agreements behind the scenes, money, etc. It’s a crazy world.

So, are you happy with the picks?
I think they’re fine.

Brentz was a question mark, but I think they went with sign-ability
Like the three college players – if they work out they’ll only need a few minor years
:(
boo

Is Workman still available.
Would we maybe take him?

What are we doing about 3B in the future?
We wouldn’t want to block Middlebrooks or possibly Vitek in the long term.

God, I'm so pumped for Strasburg's debut,
and I’m equally pumped for Stanton’s debut.

Ugh, had Daisuke on my fantasy team,
decided not to start him after seeing the Indian’s team splits (they hit RHP a lot better than LHP). Bad decision.
Already dropped him for tomorrow this morning.
Was just using him as a spot starter. I have to stop out-guessing myself. Took him against the Indians, for obvious reasons, saw their team splits, questioned, and benched him. Then he has a fantastic game, and I’m stuck looking at 8.0 stellar innings sitting on my bench for today.
Great game by Dice-K.
Hard luck for Lackey, yesterday (7 IP, 2 Runs – no decision).
It would be awesome for Wake to put together a nice outing to complete a full pass of top quality games by all 5 starters.
Side note: Did Hall start his slide into 2nd in his attempt to leg out that double (that drove in Beltre) about 2 strides to early or what? He should have had that double beat out easily, but it looked like a cartoon the way he slid slowly to a halt as he reached the base – and the tag.
Was this game on ESPN up in Boston because it was suppose to be...
They were showing the Phillys out where I live in the Tri-state area…sucked.
the weekday games are always on NESN in Boston
they actually black out the ESPN weekday Red Sox games
Good win
I won’t be here tonight, so make do without me!
