An intriguing matchup today, with Dice-K, the "rookie" phenom from Japan, going up against Randy Johnson. Matsuzaka has been a bit ephemeral of late; he'll have some good starts, then a couple of bad ones, and he did throw 130 pitches last outing, so hopefully that'll have some effect on him. Johnson has been very, very solid: I think it's safe to say that a sub-4.00 ERA is more than even we fans expected from him (the community projection was 3.98), so long may that continue.
