The last two months had been pretty solid for Red Sox pitcher David Price. After one brutal showing against the Rangers on May 3 (seven earned runs, 3.2 IP), he hadn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his past nine starts, and had a 2.72 ERA over that period. Then Price was completely lit up by the…
Although the Boston Red Sox are currently in a fine state, David Price is not. The lefty pitcher has a 5.11 ERA after he barfed up seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings against the lowly Rangers, and he was scratched from Wednesday’s start against the Yankees due to a “mild case” of carpal tunnel syndrome, according to…
It’s been a contentious couple of months for Red Sox starter David Price, who only made his season debut on Memorial Day and has seemingly spent as much time shouting at Boston media members as actually pitching. Last month he got into it with CSNNE’s Evan Drellich over an entirely inoffensive tweet; earlier this…
David Price has been extra salty with reporters this year. Right off the bat, he declared that he wouldn’t be speaking to the media except on days when he starts, and then he got into a strange shouting match with CSNNE’s Evan Drellich after a game last month. Lately, it’s been more of the same.
Before getting lit up by the Yankees for six runs in five innings Thursday night, David Price spent time arguing with the Boston media, which is a fate worse than death.
Spring training is just underway, and Red Sox fans have already been given something to panic about. There’s something wrong with David Price, and although we don’t have any specifics yet, it doesn’t sound good:
The Red Sox signed David Price to a massive seven-year, $217 million contract. We soon learned that the Cardinals were in second, more than $30 million behind. And the Blue Jays, who said all the right things about hoping to keep their lefty ace who, acquired at the trade deadline, led the team to a furious surge and…
It feels like the old days, with the Red Sox dropping a knee-buckling amount of money to snatch a superstar in his prime. So much for Boston’s brief experiment with (relative) fiscal restraint. But consecutive last-place finishes have a way of trying an owner’s patience, and an elite, durable lefty starter hitting the…
The stove’s hot: David Price is going to the Red Sox for a buttload of cash, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
On the first pitch of Game 2 of the ALCS today, Alcides Escobar singled to right field off David Price. It was an inauspicious start for Price, yet after that pitch, he would retire the next 18 batters. It was the best pitching he’d ever done in the playoffs.
One of the more frustrating things in baseball over the past few years has been watching the perpetually okay Toronto Blue Jays continue to be nothing more than just okay, because in a sports landscape populated by mountebanks who preach the virtues of losing, they’ve actively been trying to win, which shouldn’t stand…
Just two days after trading for all-world shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, the Toronto Blue Jays have gone and pulled off another blockbuster. According to multiple reports, the Jays have landed Tigers ace David Price in exchange for a package built around top pitching prospect Daniel Norris.
Yesterday was a throw day for David Price, and with the Tigers on the road in Seattle he used the visiting bullpen at Safeco Field. He wasn’t a fan:
In response to the Rays shipping David Price to the Tigers, Tampa Bay's FOX 13 made a joke at Detroit's expense. The joke is that Detroit is bad, you see. Do you get the joke?
Ken Rosenthal was first to report that the Tigers have acquired starter David Price from the Rays. The Detroit-Oakland arms race is real and spectacular.
The Red Sox and Rays cleared the benches last night which, by itself, is barely worth mentioning but then someone put a microphone in front of David Ortiz's face after the game. Ortiz was not very happy with Tampa's ace David Price, who plunked him with the very first pitch Ortiz saw since hitting two home runs off…
Friday night was apparently Dairy Night in Anaheim, so the stadium held a cow-milking contest before the Rays-Angels game. The two competitors: David Price and Luis Jimenez. Who would be the best milker?

David Price had a rough outing yesterday, giving up seven runs in seven innings and losing Game 2 to the Red Sox. He didn't take the media criticism well.
What did Tony Thompson want to talk about after knocking out David Price in the fifth round of their heavyweight fight on Saturday? Sexing his wife, obviously.
