Dice-K's First Start....

I thought I would post this because someone would probably be interested.  

Dice-K's first inning...

First batter:  College kid lines a double down the first baseline on the first pitch.  Straight fastball down the middle.

Second batter:  First pitch: outside called strike.  Second pitch, low strike, which the batter check swings into the dirt right in front of JV, out 2-3.  

Third batter:  First pitch, curve ball for a strike. Second pitch: fastball inside, called strike (questionable in my op.)  Third pitch, a slight sinker, outside, fouled off.  Fourth pitch: fastball clocked at 92 mph, outside, called third strike (another questionable call.)

Fourth batter:  First pitch: FB outside.  Second pitch: FB, fouled down 3Bline.  Third pitch:  low in the dirt.  Fourth pitch: FB, inside.  Called third strike.  

Overall impressions:  Very efficent arm movement.  Dice-K gets a couple of questionable strike calls and learns not to say your first pitch will be a fastball.  

He's supposed to throw a second inning.  I'll report back on that.
