Price strikes out Ramirez looking at a 93 mph fastball. The way he mixes pitches gets him a lot of those. He has 40 Ks looking on fastballs, 2nd most in the majors.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:15:50 PM -
A half-inning after Mitch Moreland slid into the side of the camera well attempting to catch a foul pop-up, he leaves the game in favor of pinch-runner Blake Swihart after reaching first.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:23:21 PM

Melky Cabrera has more than a decade of defensive misfortunes at Fenway. In 2005, shortly after his callup to the Yankees, he misplayed a Trot Nixon single into an inside-the-park homer.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:24:36 PM

Update: 41 strikeouts looking on fastballs for Price.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:35:01 PM

Mostly, Cleveland's starters - esp Kluber, Bieber, and now Plutko - have shown exceptional fastball command this series. Plutko, however, got away with a 94 mph fastball down the middle for a swing-and-miss vs Nunez for the K.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:42:07 PM

Some injured Red Sox prospects are getting healthy: 1st rounder Triston Casas (surgery on thumb ligament) is expected to be ready to participate in instructional league, and 2nd rounder Nick Decker is swinging and has a chance to take part in the Rookie Level GCL season.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:45:24 PM

Lindor threw down his bat in disgust after he swung through a 94 mph fastball for a strikeout against Price for the third out of the 3rd inning.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 5:54:35 PM

Swihart rips a double to right-center to score two runs and put the Sox up, 2-0. A few scouts recently have mentioned how strong an impression he's making, both behind the plate (plus arm, decent game-calling) and at the plate, where he's hitting the ball hard from gap to gap.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:43:50 PM
-
A 1-2 chopper by Bogaerts glances off Ramirez's glove and produces two runs. Put the ball in play with two strikes and things can happen.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:47:38 PM

Indians starter Adam Plutko pulled from game, and J.D. Martinez is intentionally walked to load the bases.Andrew Mahoney 8/23/2018 6:48:36 PM -

The Red Sox are 16-for-38 this series (.421) with RISP. It's their second-highest average with RISP in any series this season.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:54:07 PM

The other day, I examined whether Cleveland's matchup bullpen (and others like it in the AL) represented a potential playoff weakness for the Sox (cont). bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/…by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:55:31 PM

The Sox have reasonably good numbers vs bullpens. One subject not explored that would be interesting: How Sox adjust to relievers they see multiple times. Sox struggled, for instance, in first look at Cimber on Monday. Today: 3 PAs, 3 hits.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:57:43 PM
-
Even outstanding bullpens get wobbly across playoff series because the advantage of novelty tends to fade. When seeing a reliever 3x in 4 games, the whole "times through the order" penalty should apply to bullpens, especially for well-prepared teams.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 6:59:27 PM

David Price has a 1.12 ERA in 6 starts (40 1/3 IP) since the All-Star break. 39 Ks, 7 BBs.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 7:21:20 PM

Price just threw a 93 mph fastball off Guyer's ankle. Guyer has been hit in 5.7 percent of all plate appearances in his career - about 1 per 17.5 PAs.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 7:32:52 PM

Pitch 101 for Price: A 92 mph cutter for a swinging K of Perez. That's 8 scoreless innings, the 3rd time this year he's pitched 8+ innings.by Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 7:35:54 PM

David Price gave up just three hits in eight innings as the Red Sox shut out the Cleveland Indians, 7-0, Thursday afternoon at Fenway Park to gain a split of their four-game series.

David Price now has a 1.09 ERA since the All-Star break (best in the AL), and a career 2.06 ERA vs Cleveland (lowest among active pitchers w/10+ starts).

On the field, Michael Chavis is re-establishing his career following a season-opening 80-game suspension for a positive PED test. Off of it, he’s still trying to wrap his head around a year he describes as incomprehensible bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/… via @BostonGlobeby Alex Speier via twitter 8/23/2018 11:07:21 PM
