Dice-K threw fastballs, changeups and sliders, and looked strong doing it. "Most important [was] the overall physical aspect: no restrictions, no hesitation. He feels good about himself," said Red Sox pitching coach Farrell. "Every progressive step is a positive one." The right-hander has been slowed the past week by a stiff neck. He's hoping to pitch in a game Sunday.
