This afternoon's batting order against the Cardinals seems very close to what Terry Francona's regular lineup will be (although I believe I read that Tito will have Jarrod Saltalamacchia catching on Opening Day):
Ellsbury, CF
Pedroia, 2B
Crawford, LF
Gonzalez, 1B
Youkilis, 3B
Ortiz, DH
Drew, RF
Varitek, C
Scutaro, SS
Daisuke Matsuzaka is starting. The game is on NESN and MLBTV.
Tuned in to see Gonzalez line out to LF with Crawford on first. Dice has allowed 0 hits and 1 walk in 2 innings.
ReplyDeleteScutaro walks with one out in the third and LBJ singles to right (.429 coming in and 1-for-2 today)
ReplyDeleteDice, so far: 3-1-0-1-4
ReplyDeleteBeing very aggressive with the fastball.
His location with the fastball looks good and he's hitting 91-92.
ReplyDeleteDon't like Crawford, Gonzalez, and Youk going down on 4 pitches.
Yoinks.
ReplyDeleteA 10-run 6th for St. Louis.
Oh my: After making two quick outs, the next 11 Cardinals reached base, and 10 scored.
ReplyDeleteFinal: Cards 10-3.
