Goatolo seems to be giving Noah some tips in the cage

What's up with Puig? Dude was dialed in when the dodgers played the Giants early in the year, I was scared he was going to have a monster season (still might)

Think he is what he is. Has holes in his swing that will lead to long slumps. I see skill but not him being anything near what it looked like he could be a few years ago. He is no Trout but maybe he can become a CesPEDes one day.
 
Struggling Red Sox ace David Price got a mechanical tip from teammate Dustin Pedroia that he thinks can make a significant impact going forward.

"You know, he was just watching video of himself hitting off lefties and I came into that video and he showed me," said Price. "We were talking in the food room -- and he was like, 'Man, something, you know, something doesn't look right. Something looks a little off.' And he showed me a picture of myself in 2012, '13, '14, and then, you know, what I've done so far this year."

Pedroia noticed that Price's hands weren't going up and down enough during his delivery.

"Whenever I talk to other pitchers or at baseball camps, it's something that I always say. I want my hands and my right leg or my right knee to be connected by a string," Price said. "Whenever my knee goes up, I want my hands to go up. Whenever my knee goes back down, I want my hands to go back down.

"My hands have stayed [in one place], and that's not allowing me to get my full leg lift. It's been about a half of a leg lift of what I'm used to and it takes away, you know, the rhythm of what I do out there on the mound. And whenever my hands stay here, I have to be able to time it up perfect for me to be able to execute that pitch. It gives me no margin of error, because I don't have that rhythm."

"I'm not putting myself in my normal power position, absolutely," said Price. "My leg lift, it at least comes up to my belt if not a little bit higher. And for right now, it's getting about right here -- it's almost a slidestep out of the windup. And you know I'll fix that tomorrow, and hopefully Thursday I'll go out there and I'll be back to my normal self."

I guess we'll see if the velocity ticks back up tonight, im sure NESN will have the radar gun juiced to the moon anyways.
 
Things very noticable from this Yankee game...eovaldi Hangs a lot of sliders and Yankees can't draw flies to the stadium right now.

Edit: crowd looks better now, maybe late comers tonight.

Ian Kennedy has given up homers to Headley and Gorgeous Gregorius (and another to Star). Brutal. Was Headley's first extra-base hit of the season
 
Words cannot describe my hatred for Erick Aybar. Fuck him and that dinosaur Pierzynski.
 
Who do you have? I have no idea who anyone is in this damn league
 
I don't want any more Yankees on my team though

It's bad enough I caved and picked up one to fill my roster.
 
Don't put it on me. I just said yes.
