Koji busting Donaldson inside hit the 85 mph HEAT is a thing of beauty!

Ladies and gentleman, your 2016 American League all star, gold glove and mvp winner for the champion Boston Red Sox, mr Hanley Ramirez!
He will also author the best selling self improvement book ' the Hanley way' describing how the best attitude and effort combined with island spirit leads to a fulfilling life.
He will also lead a reunion of the seminal band 'dread Zeppelin ' singing as Elvis reggae versions of led Zeppelin hits.
And finally your vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party producing the Trump and the bump ticket!

Well, I think one of the electrons from one of the molecules in a thread in the knee of his pants was in the area of the bag with a 0.05% probabibility there.

Kimbrel has no idea where that ball is going once it leaves his hand sometimes. Yes, at 98 mph it's very effective, but I feel safer with Uehara, who always seems to be completely in control.

Kimbrel paints the corners and Vasquez steals the ones that miss. Wow.

Angel Hernandez is such a bad umpire but I'll take it.

Well pitched game by Price, had it all going, the change was nasty. Koji did his thing and Kimbrel, impressive.

Said no one ever! (Umm until just now) Having your closers out pitch be a 60 mph change was wet my pants frightening. I'm much more fond of the power of GINGERMAN!

Man, I just love the swagger that CV shows behind the plate! He just carry himself down there like a seasoned veteran.

this should not be shown on TV Was it really that great of a pitch? It got a swing-and-a-miss from a good hitter, but the pitch itself wasn't that great, it was just set up well.

Price had it going today, late life and movement. Great fun to watch!
Shaw continues to impress me.
I never want to see a guy get hurt, but I am glad the sox went with shaw over sandavol.

Are you seriously going to try to downplay that?? It's hilarious and the result of an extremely well-executed sequence.

I'm really liking the energy Hanley is showing. Hustling down the line and getting fired up on playing defense. CV bringing some energy as well.

That was a fun win. Price looked strong. Koji was Koji and Kimbrel was overpowering.
Kimbrel is a hard guy to hit. 98 and everything on or near the corners and a nasty slider. He's fun to watch but I have to admit I still enjoy Koji more as I marvel how he gets guys out with an 88 MPH fastball (and of course a nasty splitter). I don't have to wonder how Kimbrel gets them out. The last six batters he's faced have had no chance to hit him.
Fortunately, Vazquez has come up and solved the pitching problem. lol.
And Gold Glover Hanley Ramirez has been fantastic at 1b. That play he made to save the double play was quite impressive. I'm sure somewhere Doug Mientkiewicz nodded in approval.
