David Price Plays Catch, Shows Signs Of Improvement Following Elbow Scare
Share this: David Price’s recovery process took a small, but important, step forward Saturday. The Boston Red Sox left-handed starter’s left elbow showed signs improvement, which allowed him to play catch for a bit. “(There were) strength improvements to the point of putting the ball back in his hand a little more consistently,” manager John Farrell told reporters in Fort Myers, Fla., via MLB.com. “Today’s the first step for that. A short game of catch. That’s what he’s going through. Not off a mound but just to get the arm moving with a ball in flight, and he will continue in this phase for a period of time.

Florida Stuns Wisconsin With Wild, Buzzer-Beating 3-Pointer In Overtime
Share this: It’s been a relatively dull NCAA Tournament so far, but Friday night’s East Region Sweet 16 matchup is why we call it March Madness. No. 4 seed Florida pulled off a stunning 84-83 overtime victory over eighth-seeded Wisconsin, miraculously sending the Gators to the Elite Eight.

With possession and a chance to send the game into overtime, the Badgers called on Zach Showalter, who answered Wisconsin’s prayers with an off-balanced heave. The two squads would go back and forth in the overtime period, but the
