Those are the things I kind of did last year. | Forum

ANAHEIM, Calif. Emmitt Smith Jersey . -- The Boston Red Sox are paying left-handed pitcher David Price $30 million this season, the first of a seven-year, $217 million contract. So one can imagine the angst Prices performance has caused so far this season.Price will get the start for Boston on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, still searching for ways to regain the form that enticed the Red Sox into spending so much on the 30-year-old.Twenty-one starts into the season, Prices 4.51 ERA is a bit concerning, considering its a full run higher than any ERA he has had in the big leagues since his first season in 2009 with Tampa Bay.He has managed to win nine games, but much of that is thanks to a Red Sox offense that leads the majors in runs scored. He hasnt faced the Angels yet this year and is a mediocre 5-5 with a 3.59 ERA in 12 career starts against them.Coming off a poor performance in his last start -- he allowed five runs and 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Minnesota Twins -- he simply needs to make better pitches to turn things around.Honestly, I feel good, I feel healthy, Price told MLB.com. I feel good out there on the mound. I feel confident. Im just not making good pitches. Thats what it boils down to. You can feel bad out there and still go out there and execute pitches and get good results. It doesnt matter how good you feel if you dont go out there and execute.With the Red Sox in the middle of a race for the American League East title, Price can still be a force down the stretch and into the playoffs should the club get there.Im still confident in myself, absolutely, Price said. Id go out there and pitch tomorrow if theyd let me. My confidence is not altered. I dont listen to the outside noise. I know my teammates and the coaching staff have a lot of confidence in me. I havent really given them reason to have a lot of confidence in me this year. I just have to pitch better.Price will face Angels right-hander Jered Weaver, who has had issues of his own. Weaver has shown he can pitch well with diminished fastball velocity, but if he misses spots, hes in trouble.Weaver is 8-8 with a 5.32 ERA in 19 starts this season. He has been really good or really bad. He has had eight starts in which he has allowed two earned runs or fewer, including a three-hit shutout of the As on June 19.But he has had six starts in which he has given up five earned runs or more. He is 4-6 with a 4.16 ERA in 16 career starts against Boston.Weavers biggest problem has been the home run ball. He has given up 23 homers this season, fifth most among American League pitchers. With the weather hot in Anaheim lately, the air will be light on Thursday night.Its no secret that I need a big park to pitch my game, Weaver told MLB.com. Its been the story of my career, really.

CHICAGO -- Brian Campbells 3-year-old daughter had soccer on Saturday morning, so his family skipped the Blackhawks scrimmage at the United Center. The grinning defenseman said he wasnt sure if her team was playing games yet, but she had to be there.No big deal. Campbell will get plenty of opportunities for family time this year.The 37-year-old Campbell is back in Chicago after spending the last five seasons in Florida, leaving some money on the table for a one-year deal and a second stint with the Blackhawks. His wife, Lauren, is from the region, and the couple and their two young daughters make their offseason home in the area.Its just great to wake up every morning and I know the area and my wifes extremely happy and the kids with school and everything just being ready to go, he said.The move was a no-brainer for Chicago, which lost Johnny Oduya during free agency last July and missed his veteran presence at times last season. With Campbell in the fold, the Blackhawks appear to be in great shape with their blue liners, with Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook leading a deep group of defensemen.Campbell, who helped Chicago win the Stanley Cup in 2010, had six goals and 25 assists in 82 games with the Panthers last season. He led NHL defensemen with a plus-31 plus-minus rating.Just such a real smart player, said Blackhawks assistant Kevin Dineen, who also coached Campbell for three seasons in Florida. I think his patience is a real key for us. He makes really quality plays. Hes been around for a while and he loves the game. He can skate all night.The Blackhawks love mobile defensemen who can help on the offensive side, and Campbell seems like a perfect fit for what they try to do. He assisted on Richard Paniks first goal of Saturdays scrimmage, the centerpiece of the teams annual training camp festival, and carried the puck all the way up the ice during another impressive sequence. Connor Williams Jersey. Chicago is missing several players at the moment due to the World Cup of Hockey, but Campbell has made a smooth return to the Blackhawks so far.Theres a few things system-wise thats going to be different, Im sure. Its kind of tough to get into that right now, said Campbell, who played in every regular-season game while he was with the Panthers. But not much has changed. Theres a lot of the same staff, which is great, and the organization just keeps getting better every day.Campbell, a native of Strathroy, Ontario, played with a couple current Blackhawks during his first stint with the team, and he already has made an impression on his new teammates.Skating with him and seeing him out in these scrimmages, his poise with the puck and his play recognition and how he moves the puck up the ice and gets it away from us, goaltender Scott Darling said, were really happy to have him.Campbell, a four-time All-Star, broke into the NHL with Buffalo in 1999. He won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2012 after collecting four goals and 49 assists in 82 games with Florida, becoming the first defenseman since Red Kelly in 1954 to win the award.Coming off perhaps his best season -- Campbells plus-minus rating was a career best -- he doesnt appear to be worried about duplicating his form from a year ago.For me this year, its just work hard and produce and help out, he said. I expect a lot out of myself. I just want to be a good puck mover for this team, play well defensively. Those are the things I kind of did last year. Points will come, Im not worried about that aspect of the game.
