Red Sox no Youkillis or Victor Martinez today. Dicey-K pitching and he has been really bad. Philly -120 looks real cheap to me

Ortiz has been red hot, so you were going to have to sit one of your better hitters at this point in time regardless, unless Youkilis is going to play third.

Victor Martinez behind the plate hasn't worked for Daisuke Matsuzaka thus far. Varitek has been good in his limited role offensively.

I wouldn't be so quick to write off the Sox tonight.

Youkillis>Ortiz

Martinez is a much better hitter, Varitek will end up where he has been.

the catcher is not Dice-K's problem, he is. He seems to have a big bag of excuses and he pulls them out as needed.

I like philly

I don't disagree with your assessment, only the premise that the lineup will be the reason for their failure if they are to lose.

it does help the under and Dice-K is clearly much more comfortable with Varitek. Ellsbury is back today though.

Though?

What Ellsbury does for this line up is indescribable. Placing Scutaro at the end of the order where he belongs is ideal.
