The Red Sox need to win, they are 0-4 for the first time in 15 years and there is only one man to pull them out of this funk. That man is Daisuke Matsuzaka. The once 18 game winner/ World Series Champion is taking on Mitch Talbot and the Indians. Dice is the man to turn to also because last year he was 5-1 when pitching after a Red Sox loss. More importantly, he allowed one run and nine hits over 16 innings to win both of his starts against the Indians, continuing his epic run of dominance in this series. For his career, Dice is 4-1 with a 2.34 lifetime ERA versus Cleveland. He's been nearly unhittable in two starts at Progressive Field, holding the Indians to four hits over 15 scoreless innings. Brilliant!
But enough about how great Dice K is, what has been the issue thus far in the season is our hitting. In the 4 games this season they are hitting .186 which is horrendous figuring all the hype surrounding it. It doesn't matter how well Dice pitches tonight, if the Sox can't score we will be in trouble. I don't like this moving Crawford all around every game that's going on and I don't like the changing of the batting order. I know we like the L/R way of hitting but fuck that, just stick to one line up Tito and let it ride. My patience with that assclown is already wearing thin this season.
Either way, I think the Sox can get to Mitch Talbot early and often.
Sox 10-0
