Game Thread - ALDS - Yankees at Red Sox Game 2

Edited

I don't like either team either but....

The Red Sox have a David Price problem. They are paying this man $30 million this season — plus $31 million in 2019 and $32 million in 2020, presuming he doesn’t opt out — and yet he continues to announce to the world he can’t win a big game.

In nine career postseason starts, Price is 0-8 with a 5.74 ERA. In nine career starts against the Yankees as a member of the Red Sox, he is 2-6 with an 8.43 ERA. In five career starts at Yankee Stadium as a member of the Red Sox, he is 0-5 with a 10.44 ERA

That's just delicious!

And now he can't even get out of the second!

Older link so some of those stats have changed, but it makes the point.

Price hasn't handled the playoffs or his time as a Red Sock(?) well.

I can still root for Kinsler, but hasn't had much to offer at the plate this year.

There is talk that Price will opt out of his contract, even thought he likely will re sign for less.

JD has been fun to watch this year too.
