I know last night was a horrific showing of baseball, I know he hasn't had a great start to the season. But you know what, leave him alone. Red Sox fans in general are willing to jump down anyone's throat at the drop of a hat, but Dice K at least deserves a little bit of a leash.
He's done all the right things this offseason to try and improve. It's not like he did his thing in Japan and came into the season out of shape, he's trying. Even though he's pitched as bad as he has, it's still as good as what John Lackey has shown. I know that's not the greatest argument, but still.
I'm the biggest Dice K fan, I still think he has the potential to be great. I think he just tries to hard to adjust between each start. He needs to just do what he does, even if he only lasts 5 and a third innings. Last night we saw him trying to pound the strike zone and obviously that didn't work. He needs to go out try to hit the corners even if that means walking 4.
So relax Dice alone and give the man room to breath.
