Well at last an explanation for a lost season, the WBC. What every coach fears and every fan should. If we must have this exhibition move it to post World Series. In some warm and wonderful climate where players and fans will love to travel and keep their baseball high a little longer.

I hope that Matsuzaka now appreciates that his loyalty and REAL responsibility is to The Boston Red Sox Organization and not to the WBC.To me,this whole thing always smelled of a pitcher who took on WAY too much,too fast in his goal to pitch for his country before he was physically ready. Now we see that he WAS covering up for some kind of an injury and it all came back to bite him AND the team who he’s contracted to by not originally owning up to it! It’s apparent that the major problem that lead to the Red Sox starting rotation’s problems in ’09 after having Beckett & Lester as the #1/1A starters stemmed from losing Dice K. IMO it cost the Red Sox big time as it handcuffed them from dealing Penny earlier as planned and for having to use him and Smoltz too damn many times when they both were glaringly ineffective in the second half of the season.

im a little mad at this if we had dice k we would of had more wins than the yanks yankee fans can say what ever they want but we lost at least ten games without dice k

$103 million over six years put up on Dice-K. One bad season will not make it impossible to make good, but I have not been impressed with his stuff. His change-up is no where near the dominant pitch we were sold on and his fastball has decent velocity but it looks like its on a rope.

he has nasty stuff what are you talking about and his change up is great and velocity doesnt matter look at greg maddux now oviously dice k is no greg maddux but hes still nasty and if it wasnt for the fact that he pitches 100 pitches in five innings he would be a number one starter

I am concerned about his message that it was the leg and not his weight. While this may be true, and that a leg injury would constrain his workouts and perhaps lead to weight gain, the concern for me is that it smacks of an attempt to once again deny the benefits of staying in shape. He claims that, because he oversees his own training (a.k.a I have told the Red Sox training staff that I know better and to leave me alone)he could hide his injury.He needs to understand that he is doing no favors by lying and playing hurt. These trainers are professional rehabers, but they need to be told the truth. I am afraid this is a preview of his usual Frank Sinatra training regimen (I did it my way).

well no not exactly japenese ball is different to our baseball so hes telling them that he wants to do it the japenese way basically which i think makes sense

The Japanese way cost him a season. I think he should try a new way.

Come on now, Peter. Nobody is asking you to write like you major in English composition, but try a little bit. If you are six or younger, forgive me, and great job, little one.

as long as people can understand me i dont think i have to ron

Hmmmm, when a WBC-winning pitcher says he wants to be world champion again, I assume it is for Japan? No matter among true professionals, but how old is he and when is he going to learn to become one? Japanese pitchers generally have short lives here. And he is so stubborn emotionally that he 1) concealed an injury, 2) was stubborn about training properly for the American season and its need for endurance and velocity that precludes the Japanese training methods, and 3) gained twenty pounds. No you don’t gain 20 from the injury, you gain it for keeping your mouth and your wallet open during meals and not cutting down, professionals know exactly the relationship between exercise, weight and performance. OK fine let’s see how this year goes, but put some incentives in there that keep him reined in. Even Bore-us is apologizing for him. I would have to question whether he will deserve a payday at the end of his contract. His stuff is wicked and that is partly why he minces around the plate so much trying to control it, but without velocity, he is an aging middle reliever.

no look at greg maddux he never had velocity and look at him hes won 350 wins

“I assure you that the (2010) season will be a great season. I am going to redeem what I lost in 2009.”
Try this translation DiceK: You better win 20 to make us forget your self-absorbed approach in 2009.

he is very capable of winning twenty games i mean his average game was six innings two runs so i think he can win that many
