Dice-K to DL; Aceves in Red Sox rotation

By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff

 

Daisuke Matsuzaka will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained elbow tomorrow according to Terry Fracona. Righthander Michael Bowden was recalled from AAA Pawtucket.

 

The new rotation:

 

Wednesday vs. Detroit: Clay Buchholz

 

Thursday vs. Detroit: Josh Beckett

 

Friday vs. Chicago: Jon Lester

 

Saturday vs. Chicago: Alfredo Aceves

 

Sunday vs. Chicago: Tim Wakefield

 

No word yet when tonight's game will be made up. Meanwhile Baltimore will pitch Zach Britton against the Yankees tomorrow. Works out well in several ways for the Sox.

The back end of the rotation is looking pretty s*****.

[Station 13]

Doubront is hurt too.

[Dojji]

Bah. Just don't let another guy get hurt.

[italstallianion]

Bah. Just don't let another guy get hurt.

 

 

Unless he sucks.

[Dojji]

Who's left? Tony Pena Jr? Kyle Weiland?

I saw Pedroia pitch on a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

I'm sure Jamie Moyer can at least throw one over the plate. Besides, his analyst career on BBTN needs to end and NOW.

Pedro wants to pitch for the Sox again.

[SoxSport]

The DL should be renamed the SL.

[Wasatch]

He should be placed on a plane back to Japan.

This. Make it happen

And at what point, besides that amazing stretch of 10 games, did it not look s*****?

 

Why don't we give Andrew Miller a shot?

[Jasonbay44]

Im not sure this is a bad thing, I feel more comfortable with Aceves starting, then I do Dice-k. Plus Aceves doesnt piss me off with all his walks and isnt the slowest pitcher in baseball in the stretch.

[Spudboy]

He should be placed on a plane back to Japan.

 

I've been saying this for two years.

The more accurate description would be that it will look "shittier".

 

Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!

This is still to be determined, but to be honest, I am guessing that it will be better than it is right now. And it's pretty easy for Wake + Aceves to be better.

 

Through the past 2 rotations, DiceK + Lackey have thrown 4 games. They are 2-2 in those games, thanks to some late inning heroics. Here are the stats.

 

4 GS, 21 IP (5.1 IP per outing), 11.14 ERA, 2.19 WHIP.

 

Where's the smiley for throwing up??

[snydersminipretzels]

Miller has 24 BB in 30 IP. In AAA.

 

He's not the answer.

[italstallianion]

I think that we should kidnap all of Dice-K's relatives in Japan, and tell him that for every walk he gives up, we'll randomly kill one of them. Problem Solved.

They tried that, remember? April 11, high strike %, 8 ER in 2 innings.

Batters are hitting .143 against him.

Batters are hitting .143 against him.

 

 

They don't have to hit a high percentage off of him if they can just walk in.

Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!

 

We really do need to somehow convince Pedro to join this time. He did say that he was hinting towards retirement but with this we should at least make him an offer.

 

Who knows how long either of them could be injured, I don't want those two replacing them the whole time.

[BSN07]

Bringing Pedro back has a "cool" factor to it I have to admit. But I doubt he would be ready to pitch before Dice-K and Lackey return. And I don't know if Pedro wants to toil around in AAA waiting for a spot :dunno:

Agreed.

 

I don't want to see Pedro back in a Sox uniform unless he underwent surgery from Colon's doctor.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Haha.

Dice-k may need Tommy John's.

Well, anytime you hear teams talk about "sprained" UCL's, TJS enters the back of your mind.

[italstallianion]

The bad part of this being....???

Wakefield is going to be the fifth starter all year.
