FORT MYERS, Fla. — Dustin Pedroia showed up to City of Palms Park at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. He left at approximately 4 p.m. In between the Red Sox second baseman played a baseball game and, more importantly, did so without any limitations.
The Red Sox’ 6-0 win over Boston College marked the first time since Aug. 18 that Pedroia had actually played in a real, live game. He went 0-for-1, walking in the first inning and grounding out to second base in the second. The second at-bat actually induced a full-out sprint by the Sox’ No. 2 hitter, with BC second baseman Anthony Melchionda robbing Pedroia of a hit by diving into the hole on a sharp grounder.
According to Pedroia, there were no issues at all when it came to operating on his surgicially-repaired left foot.
“I wasn’t out there very long, but I felt good. My foot was all good,” he said. “My timing’s all jacked up, but that takes some time. I felt great.”
Regarding the play by Melchionda, Pedroia said, “I haven’t done that in a while, but I felt good. I didn’t see him catch it because the pitcher was in my way, but once I saw that, I was like, damn, I better run hard.”
The only negative Pedroia took away from the outing was a continued search for his timing at the plate. It is an issue that, one game into spring training, isn’t causing any sleepless nights.
“I’m not a very good spring training player. But it takes a couple weeks and then get ready,” he said. “The ball looks like it’s a thousand miles an hour coming in. It’s not. You know, it takes time.”
