David Price was throwing pitch 50 of the night to the Astros Rookie of The Year candidate, George Springer, and he absolutely UNLOADED on it...
Evidence below...
Astros beat writer Brian McTaggart, via his Twitter, has the details on the bomb:
Springer's HR hit off the "d-ring" catwalk. It's 23rd time in ballpark history a ball hit off "d-ring." First time since May 30, 2011.
That's really far...

Giancarlo Stanton: Two Words, Two Homers
((HT: MLB.com))
At one point last night, the Miami Marlins had three hits... all three were solo home runs...
Two were absolute bombs by Giancarlo Stanton..
Milwaukee was in complete control of the game- winning in Miami 9-5, but the HQ can't wait for arbitration and free agency for some of their kids...

Arraignment Expected In Boston Bomb Hoax
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Kayvon Edson, also known as Kevin Edson, is charged with possession of a hoax device, disturbing the peace, and disorderly conduct after Boston police say he was carrying a rice cooker filled with confetti to the Boston Marathon finish line.
He will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court Wednesday.
Authorities say Edson told them he had a rice cooker in his backpack and they told him to leave it on the street. The area was cleared and the two backpacks that Edson had in his possession when he entered the Boylston Street area were detonated Tuesday evening over a two-hour period. The area had been cleared for the bomb squad to do their examinations and metro trains skipped the Copley Street station during the evacuation.
Here's the morning reports...

No word yet on how the Boston Police will increase their security measures- that have already been increased due to last year's explosions. Police have already asked those who will be running in the Marathon or who will be watching the Marathon not to bring backpacks into the area this year.

Tsarnaev Pleads Not Guilty In Marathon Bombings
((HT: NECN))
The surviving brother involved in the Boston Marathon bombings plead not guilty seven times in a Boston courtroom...
The proceeding in the courtroom lasted seven minutes- so that averages a plea a minute...
Dzokhar Tsarnaev has been hospitalized since the capture after the April 15th bombing of the Boston Marathon. He faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, which killed three and injured more than 260.
He could get the death penalty if prosecutors choose to chase the idea.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, died following a gun battle with police three days after the attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19th and is also charged in the killing of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during his getaway attempt.
Here's the NECN coverage of the developments as they came out of the courtroom...
Martin Richard, Krystle Marie Campbell, and Lingzi Lu were killed by the two bombs. They were made out of pressure cookers, gunpowder, nails and other bits and pieces that could easily turn into shrapnel once the bombs were triggered as they were carried in ordinary backpacks.

Two explosions have rocked the Boston neighborhood near the finish line of today's Boston Marathon.
