David Price Suffers The Fail of July

I didn't see all of the game, so excuse the ignorance, but here are my approximately timed thoughts:

8:23 AM - Wake up, look at clock, think to self: 12 hours until Price.

10:13 AM - Receive text, asking if anything is needed from store, reply ice. Notice you cannot spell Price without ice. Noted for future poor jokes.

1:20 PM - State "Haha, silly Canuck, this is America's day." upon watching Rich Harden pitch horribly.

1:21 PM - Price won't pitch that poorly.

4:59 PM - Two hours til Price, woo!

5:01 PM - Three hours, stupid Texas.

5:02 PM - til Price, woo!

8:14 PM - PRIIIIIIIICE

8:17 PM - CHANGE-UPS!

8:20 PM - Okay stop.

8:22 PM - No really, stop.

8:25 PM - ...

8:45 PM - Price :<

No, you pretty much have it all covered

Since when did Price do ’07 Edwin impressions?

The Ballpark of Arlington

also gives Mr. Cliff Lee issues too. Its a nightmare for young starters.

To keep the rain cloud coming

Meloan debuted with an inning of relief giving up 3 hits inc a HR

The Rays FO totally miscalculated

the readiness of Price. He clearly isn’t, and by thinking he was /would be, it set off a series of actions, that has now left this team, starving for SP at the present time

Go get Carl Pavano

1-Indians don’t want to pay his incentives

2-He’s better than any SP we have

Do not

get Pavano. I am a yankee fan and i would love to see you guys pick him up. With that said Pavano is not the guy you ever want on your team, only pitching against you. The thing he does best is hang out on the DL.

He'll be fine for the remainder of this year

then when he gets a multi year deal in ’10 the DL action begins

Who? Pavano?

He’s pitching great

by Raymondo on Jul 5, 2009 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sorry, got my timeline confused, he had a rough go during the month of June after his Chicago start because of a sore neck and shoulder.

And for you to say he’s pitching better then any starting pitcher the Rays have is patently absurd. He’s not better then Shields, he’s probably not better then Garza, and I’m not even convinced he’s better then current Kazmir. Regardless, history dictates that it’s only a matter of days now before he breaks down again.

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

Well here's what i said

1-He’s not long term

2- His FIP (the end all of end alls here) is lower than Shields and Garza, and i’d assume Kaz w/o looking

by Raymondo on Jul 5, 2009 12:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Correct. Hopefully the Indians

want to avoid the incentives they’ll owe, and i only want himn thru this year

Let's not let this turn into

2008 pre ASB

We can’t afford it this year

Price should be in Durham

Sonnanstine did not need to go down. Bad decision by Rays FO. I always thought Price wasn’t ready
