J.D. Martinez notes how strange it is Vazquez just went through hitters meetings with Red Sox so he knows how they are planning to approach Astros.

As I go down this Kirk Gibson rabbit hole, just found this bizarre fact: Three active players on the Dodgers - Gavin Stone, Jack Flaherty and Teoscar Hernandez - were born on Oct. 15. That is day in 1988 Gibson hit his historic home run.

He has done this literally every single time he walks off the mound after each inning.
One more thing: did anyone else catch this and/or ask Price about it? Looked like he tapped his chest (over his heart) after he walked off the mound as a sign of gratitude to the Boston fans. Until now, any such expression toward fans has been lukewarm at best.
