also, can i please be the first to point out how Tavarez' dugout man love for Matsuzaka is beyond annoying? ... he's in his ear seemingly everytime they cut to Daisuke on the steps... the language barrier alone is awkward to watch.....
you almost get the feeling Matsuzaka is saying to himself, "please, i know i'm new here, but could someone get this crazy spanish guy AWAY from me!!"....
someone in the organization needs to rescue our prize free agent... if there's one guy i DON'T want teaching Matsuzaka the intricacies of pitching in the US, it's Julian Tavarez...
