Stay the course
Red Sox pitchers and catchers are out on the practice fields pretty much going through the same routine as they have the past three days — stretch, toss, fielding practice. All in a day’s work.
Pitcher J.C Romero did, however, cause a mini-stir among the fans when he emerged from the restroom trailer — the public restroom trailer — that is situated between the fields during team stretching.
Julian Tavarez and Joel Pineiro played a little long toss (Tavarez situated in mid-center field, Pineiro on the foul line) before hitting the bullpen for a throwing session, along with Mike Timlin, Brendan Donnelly, and Manny Delcarmen. Meanwhile, Curt Schilling, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tim Wakefield, Josh Beckett, and Hideki Okajima participated in fielding drills, including making a pivot throw to second, and making an out at the plate.
There’s no official count, but there seem to be a lot more fans on hand today. And the mass of media here to cover Daisuke Matsuzaka’s every move has dwindled with each passing day, from a few hundred Sunday, to maybe half that yesterday, to even less today. Maybe they have enough pictures by now?
