Dice-K Dicey

Matsuzaka pitched well against the regulars in the Orioles lineup, but not so well against the others.

Then Jon Knott led off the third with a homer to right-center field. Jason DuBois then hit a two-run shot in the fourth to left-center. After each batter swung, Matsuzaka turned around and stayed expressionless as he watched the ball fly over the fence.

Knott has played in 12 major-league games, all with San Diego, and led Triple-A Portland with 32 homers last season. DuBois had 10 homers in 86 games with the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland in 2004 and 2005.

Schilling thought he was impressive nonetheless:

Stayed to watch Daisuke today, regardless of the line he gets more impressive the more you are around him. Will put something together at some point soon.

I saw the second inning and Daisuke looked pretty good. I love the pause at the top of windup. As with any spring training outing by a pitcher, the real question is what was the pitcher trying to work on that day, and did get accomplish that goal. Unlike the regular season, it's not always about getting batters out.
