I can't even comprehend how people are that dumb to bash someone for a health issue they know nothing about or how it affects someone.

A lot of people are going to get on Price after a weak injury update. Weak injury? On what basis? Do you mean to suggest that Sox fans will call him soft for not 'gutting thru' the pain and numbness?...as in 'what a wuss'? ...and may I add...."as if". He has pressure from a ligament impinging on a nerve in his wrist. That is causing numbness, perhaps pain, loss of ability to grip (maybe why he isn't throwing his curve) and has impacted his ability to pitch effectively. Continued efforts to throw may well increase injury severity. Then what? Many times surgery is employed as remedy. I heard the Red Sox say he couldn't pitch currently....not Price. The Sox are looking out for his health and value to the team. Hopefully there are non-invasive treatments that can successfully treat him at this stage and save his season. We can only hope. I'm not one of those people. Felger and Mazz are already pinning his injury on "playing too many video games" and using the stressing the "mild" part. The media is going to be all over Price and I myself hate it and don't understand it myself when they attack players with injuries. Fan base might also attack him because of the perception that "he was afraid of the Yankees" might come out too.

Don't base what "everyone" is going to do based on Felger and Mazz, or sports talk radio in general. Their job is literally to provoke and instigate, not to be reasonable or even correct. His hand was numb. You cannot pitch when your hand is numb. I'm not sure what is hard to understand about that.

It's the same people who would bash Pomeranz for just having a hang nail even though when you saw it on tv, his fingernail on his index finger was actually falling off. I don't know how he could pitch like that.

I know what the media does and I can't stand it. The Price hate with the media is bad and it's not going away. I mentioned the fan base when it came to the supposed Yankees fear with Price. Again, I'm not one of these people. This is one of the strong perceptions I'm getting from listening to casual fans and media both.

The only reason why I pointed all stuff out is because I hope this doesn't lead to Price getting boo'd at Fenway a couple of weeks from now. Some fans I know hate this guy and are looking for a reason to boo him. If they boo Price, he can get sensitive and it could then turn into a toxic situation similar to last year.
I just hope Price starts performing so everyone forgets about this a month from now.
Edit- FWIW Cora was already asked about Price playing too much Fortnight (a video game that is apparently big in the Sox clubhouse), and Cora said he was going to talk to Price about it when he gets to the team tomorrow.

Meanwhile, is Nunez starting just because he's a former Yankee and has the grudge thing going on? Holt is an upgrade defensively at the very least.

I can’t decide if the Price news is good or bad. It’s great that it isn’t his elbow, sure, but this sounds like a different serious structural issue. I just hope it is something he can work out without surgery.
I guess the other possible good side is this might be treatable AND the cause of his issues... so maybe he comes back strong?

Hopefully this is one of those games where they can actually score off of Tanaka.

Porcello was due for a stinker and he's on pace for his first one of the season already.

Alright Moreland. I don't know why he wasn't n the lineup last night VS the righty in Severino. Especially since he's been swinging a hot bat.

I think that caught the jersey on Mookie's shoulder.
EDIT: That replay looked like it didn't hit his jersey.

Tanaka was head hunting Mookie there. That was awful.

I think that caught the jersey on Mookie's shoulder. I thought so too, and I was also hoping they wouldn't challenge it. Didn't want them taking the bat out of Mookie's hands with a 2-1 count! Though it didn't work out unfortunately.

Maybe Porcello wasn't warmed up to start the game?
Because his stuff now looks awesome.
