Watching the highlights from Dice-K’s debut was reminiscent of Pedro in his prime. Lot more of his swings and misses where on fastballs than I expected. But it was also clear that his change-up was also in top form. He also seemed to keep the ball down very well. Can’t wait to watch a game live to get beyond the highlights. Glad I have him on my fantasy team.
In a related note… I’m hoping that Varitek can start swinging the bat soon or I’m going to have to drop him from my team. At least he called a great game and threw out a runner in a key spot. It’s just sad to watch him hit less than Nomar’s twins weigh.
