I've been clear that I don't like Hanley. But he has done well playing first , and just busted it down the line to beat out a DP. Both good signs for my team.

Those are actually the guys that you're paying him to get out. Probably mostly paying him to be a top-4 pitcher in the AL. We'll see how it pans out over the next 30 starts. Agreed with kolstrophobic and Jim here. Donaldson the past 3 seasons vs LHP: 1.025 OPS. Bautista the past 3 seasons vs LHP: .947 OPS. We just need Price to be good overall. Definitely not worried about a couple XBH to two of the best hitters against LHP in the league.

Nice inning for Price there. Hit 94 on the NESN gun, moved the ball in and out, changed speeds ... hopefully he's getting locked in.

Seeing Xander hit that low slightly outside pitch over the monster is a good omen.

I won't mind if they decide to sign E5 to be this team next great DH. Dude's power is just stupid!

I don't know that we all realized how he'd hurt himself last year. I looked at the numbers before and after he slammed into the wall and it became obvious. It had nothing to do with personal character flaws. He was injured. We should all stay away from those judgements.

Vazquez is just a different breed or something.

I really like how so far there doesn't seem to be any black holes in the lineup. Even the worst hitters in the lineup (Hanigan or Vazquez) usually put up professional at-bats. Besides the catchers if Brock Holt is your worst hitter with the 98 wRC+ he had last year you should be in good shape.

Two games in a row with the starter going deep. Win or lose this grumpy old guy is happy.

Luckily not every batter is Josh Donaldson or Jose Bautista. I think Price will be fine. Those are actually the guys that you're paying him to get out. A stat line of 7 6 2 2 0 9 shows that it's money well spent.

Heck of an outing for Price. Holding this blue jays lineup to 2 runs over 7 is real impressive. Now sporting a 4.36 ERA, but with a 1.76 FIP and 2.21 xFIP on the season.

So Tazawa was warming up and now Uehara is warming up. Because obviously Tazawa can't handle the 8th and Uehara can't handle 1⅓ innings (he might have to throw more than 15 pitches OMG).
A robot could do Farrell's job and wouldn't want such a high salary for it.

Nice to see Hanley getting so pumped up making plays at 1B. He enjoys playing the field this year.
