Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek is denying that the team has any controversy in the clubhouse despite the fact that Boston's pitchers are more productive when he's behind the plate. Daisuke Matsuzaka has an ERA of 11.05 ERA in 14 2/3 innings pitched while Victor Martinez behind the plate. However, his ERA drops to 0.60 in 15 innings pitched to Varitek. "People have to understand one thing: If we start doing that, as a team, you put your starting catcher in an awkward position in that he doesn't get the right days off," Varitek said. "I need to play when (Martinez) needs to not play. It doesn't matter who's on the mound. ... I was fortunate today. Dice was powerful through the zone. ... I need to play when he needs to not play and not when somebody's on the mound."
