Vazquez has been missing on his locations.

 

The first two sequences all featured either curves or change-ups that were hanging on the inside of the plate when they were called outside.

 

Fortunately, the hitters were looking outside and/or for fastballs. Should have used a slider low and away on Bay but got away with it because his bat was slowed down by the offspeed stuff.

Ramirez needs to be running as soon as he gets on. Dice-K is slow to the plate due to his motion and Varitek can throw about as well as Toby Hall last season.

 

That would have given them 3 chances to drive in the runner from 2nd, not that it helped Boston last inning.

 

This game would have been much different had Cabrera's first liner ended up as a triple. Now the next problem will be Vazquez elevating his pitch count and sitting at over 50 pitches here early in the 4th.

 

Looks like we will have to go to Carrasco first in this game. We don't have time to mess around in this game with anything but our best relievers (if there are any!)

daisuke is going to probably throw a complete game at this point, or pretty close

 

if we don't clobber some longballs here shortly, this game is pretty much over imo

 

I think we will need to score some runs to win this game.
