[今日] 觀看經典賽　紅襪總教練直冒冷汗 - 美國職棒

"That's a pretty quick jump in a matter of two starts, to go from 64 to 86
pitches," said pitching coach John Farrell. "But you understand the rules. I
understand the latitude they're giving to each pitcher, each starting
pitcher, but fortunately it didn't seem like he had to overwork in any one
inning and really get taxed in a really long inning."

...

"The reports were he used his secondary stuff very effectively," Farrell
said. "He threw quite a number of changeups, didn't seemingly overthrow his
fastball. He looked like he had a very good rhythm for the six innings that
he pitched, and really was a model of efficiency when you think about six
innings and 86 pitches."

...

"I actually would worry about getting to 85 in three or four innings because
that means he's working hard," manager Terry Francona said. "This was pretty
efficient.

"It's hard. You try to do the right thing, but ultimately we have to kind of
put our organization first. We have to. It's how we make a living, so it's
difficult."

Farrell praised, in particular, Matsuzaka's use of the two-seam fastball
inside to lefthanders, a pitch that he would "bring back across the inside
portion of the plate." Farrell said that pitch improved significantly toward
the end of last season.

But this doesn't mean the team is overjoyed at Matsuzaka's pitch counts in
the WBC, especially with three weeks left until the start of the season.

"I never root for them to lose," Francona added, of his players in the WBC,
"but they're all certainly welcome back."

John Farrell 認為兩場球數就增加到 86 球有點太快，

球團雖然瞭解規則，但仍然很關切，

不過 Farrell 跟 Francona 都認為面對古巴的松坂效率很高

城島的配球模式 (或是松坂自己配的？) 跟紅襪 Varitek 也大不相同

大量使用變速球，面對左打者則是塞二縫線速球
