It was good to see him throwing more curveballs, especially since he was having trouble with it earlier on. If he keeps that up I think you'll see the Josh Beckett that we thought they traded for in the first place.
I'm pissed that I can't Matsuzaka today though! What's the big idea of putting one of the most hyped up starts in a long time on a friggin DAY GAME??!??

I'm pissed you can't either. We could use the back-end rotation help.

I thought Beckett was decent. His control was terrible but his changeup was significantly better than it was any game last year and his curveball was dominant at times (read: 5th inning) despite the cold conditions leading to inconsistency with that curve. He did a very good job of mixing up his pitches and if he does that this season and has control better than yesterday (this part is the given); he should have a good year.

Even though it was cold out, i was happy that Beckett kept going to to the curveball, even though he was struggling with it.
