Finally some good news to report on Matsuzaka. (It must be the lucky green hat) There were no problems after throwing 60 pitches including 50 in BP today.
“I think I had good life on my fastball,” he said. “[I] also felt that I had good break and good command of my breaking balls, although there’s some work to be done there. I think if there’s one thing since it was my first time facing live batters, I didn’t pitch inside. But I think that’s something that I’m going to work on as I start throwing in games.”
Matsuzaka was able to throw all his pitches for strikes.
This spring has to be frustrating for Matsuzaka who wanted to make up for the injury and poor performance last season. Dice-K will throw BP again on Friday and may pitch in his first game on Sunday.
