Bikkuri, Yankee fans. Bikkuri.
From the always entertaining Bill Simmons, a.k.a the Sports Guy on ESPN, when writing a column on Dice-K's first start.
I admit readily I was caught up in the hype. Here's the Great Asian Hope! kinda thing.
Even so, when watching him pitch on a cold April day in Kansas, I find myself thinking - This kid has the STUFF!.
I lost count how many batters where frozen on a breaking pitch thrown for a strike on a 0-0 count. 10 strike-outs in his first 7 major league innings, 1 hit, 1 walk. Wow.
Now let's see what he's like when he faces anyone who's not the Royals...
