Change on 2018: +2. 5-inning record: 5-2-3.Luke Weaver’s first start as a Diamondback against major-league hitters went pretty well. He pitched three innings, taking 41 pitches, allowing a run on two hits, with no walks and three strikeouts. Per Jack:Most of the time though, Weaver was sitting 92-93 mph, which is fine. His average fastball last season averaged 93.7, so we’re about where we’d expect at this point in spring training, velocity-wise. 96 mph would not necessarily be a bad thing though Gregor Blanco Jersey , especially if combined with an off-speed pitch 15 mph less. It’s still only spring training, but I’m quietly hopeful we might have got a good one here.Greg Holland, on the other hand... His lack of velocity is definitely concerning. Once again this afternoon, he wasn’t even cracking 90 mph, and paid for it in the fourth inning, when Matt Kemp deposited an 88.6 mph not-so-fastball, 393 feet onto the lawn at Salt River Fields. At least he got through an entire inning this time, allowing another hit, but an ERA of 21.60 isn’t encouraging, almost regardless of the small sample size. If the team wants to go down the same road as the previous two seasons, with the winter signings of experienced closers Brad Boxberger and Fernando Rodney, they need Holland to recover his mojo over the weeks ahead. Otherwise, he’s going to be a batting practice pitcher. Elsewhere, there were scoreless innings of more or less quality from Jimmie Sherfy http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , Mark Rzepczynski and Rubby De La Rosa - the latter struck out the side in the ninth, though faced no-one of whom I’ve ever heard. Taylor Clarke worked two innings, allowing a solo home-run in the eighth. Arizona outhit the Reds 11-6, with two hits by LF David Peralta, and doubles from DH Yasmany Tomas and 1B Christian Walker. The latter drove in two runs to tie the game in the fourth inning, giving him 10 RBI for the spring, among the leaders across the entire Cactus League. An RBI single from 1B Kevin Cron in the eighth completed Arizona’s scoring and the came was called as a tie after the ninth inning. Tomorrow, it’s off to Surprise for a game against the Kansas City Royals. Merrill Kelly will be starting and, much like Zack Godley was able to deliver, we’ll be looking for a significantly better sophomore performance from our starter. The Boston Red Sox will formally celebrate their 2018 World Series victory with their fans in a parade that begins at Fenway Park on Wednesday.After 86 years of misery, Red Sox fans have been spoiled with four world championships since 2004. Their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers this year was nearly a sweep, with the National League champs needing 18 innings in Game 3 to earn their lone win of the series.With 119 combined victories between the regular season and playoffs, the 2018 Red Sox had the second-most wins in MLB history of any team that won a World Series. Only the 1998 New York Yankees (125) were better.Per Kevin Slane of Boston.com, the parade will start 11 a.m. ET Wednesday at Fenway Park and end onStaniford Street near the Government Center. Red Sox Parade Viewing ScheduleDate: Wednesday Duane Kuiper Jersey , Oct. 31Network: MLB NetworkStreaming: MLB.com PredictionsHarry How/Getty ImagesIf someone had told you coming into this MLB season that David Price would end up being the biggest fan favorite during a Red Sox World Series parade, they would have been laughed out of the room.At this time last year, Price seemed like someone the Red Sox were stuck with but really had no fit with the organization. He was getting into heated arguments with the Boston media and told Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globehe wouldn't be talking to the media on days he wasn't pitching."I don't talk to the media every day like I did last year and I guess I get blown up for that," Price told Shaughnessy in June 2017. "But I was honest with everything they asked me last year, and I get blown up for that. So they did this to themselves. Talk to me on the day I pitch and that's it. There are no more personal interviews. There are no more asking me questions on a personal level. That's done."Just 12 months later, Price became one of the biggest playoff heroes in Boston sports history:MLB Stat of the Day MLBStatoftheDayWhat a turnaround for DAVIDprice24. ir0AKgPU4YPrice tossed a combined 13 innings with six hits allowed and one earned run with 14 strikeouts in series-clinching wins over the Houston Astros and Dodgers.Given Price's standing with Sox fans when 2018 started and compared to where it is now, don't be surprised to see him receive the loudest ovation from the crowd if he stands up to speak.Every World Series winner also has the one player who becomes a cult icon for the rest of time. Boston fans have two they can pick from: Nathan Eovaldi and Steve Pearce. Both players were with the team for less than half of the season, but they left an indelible mark.Pearce has the extra hardware on his mantle after winning the World Series MVP award thanks to hitting three homers in the final two games against Los Angeles.FOX Sports: MLB MLBONFOXMiiiiight be time to get those M-V-P chants going.Steve Pearce goes yard AGAIN! g4p96eK2EDEovaldi, who was tentatively set to start Game 4, tossed six innings out of the bullpen in Game 3's 18-inning marathon. The right-hander took a hard-luck loss after giving up Max Muncy's walk-off homer, but all of his teammates showered his performance with praise."Effortwise, I don't know, World Series, that was one of the best performances probably in the history of the World Series http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey ," Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters about Eovaldi after Game 3. "I told him how proud I was of him. The effort was amazing...probably one of the best, if not the best, game I've ever been a part of. The effort from both sides. What Nate did tonight, that was amazing. That was amazing."It was an impressive outing on its own, but it looks even more incredible if you factor in that Eovaldi pitched one inning in each of the first two games against the Dodgers. He also recorded four outs in Game 5 against the Astros two days after giving up two runs in a six-inning outing.Both players will be beloved figures in Boston for the rest of their lives, but if you are picking one who will inspire a more rousing round of applause, Pearce gets the slight edge because of his family's connection to the franchise.Per WEEI's Rob Bradford, Pearce spent some of his formative years at the Red Sox's spring training facility watching the team after his family moved to Florida in 1996."I was out there getting all the foul balls," Pearce said. "I would bring them on the bus. I went over to Winter Haven all the time. I used to have so many autographs but then we ended up playing with the balls."MLB history will always remember star players like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Andrew Benintendi and Chris Sale.But the once-unheralded studs like Pearce and Eovaldi took this Red Sox team from a dominant regular-season group to a World Series title.
