Inclement weather forced the Red Sox inside for their workout this afternoon at Fenway Park.
It was an optional workout, but most of the team's everyday players and several pitchers were on hand, including Daisuke Matsuzaka, who will be Boston's starter for Game 7 on Sunday if the Sox can win tomorrow night.
The rain stopped as the afternoon went on, so Dice-K was able to take his workout outdoors, participating in an extended long-toss session.
Boston pitching coach John Farrell said he has faith in Matsuzaka, but that in a win-or-go-home circumstance, which is what it would be, Dice-K and all pitchers used in such a game would be on a short leash.
"We're confident he's going to be able to provide us quality innings to get us hopefully into the sixth or seventh inning. We will go in with an attitude that all hands are on deck. Pitch execution is going to be the key regardless of who's on the mound," said Farrell.
