    If you read enough of SNC, you'll see the whining too. I know he's not the main Price basher.

    im ok with the whiner part. but not the constant. if there is any consistency to my "complaining" it is due to performance of Mr. Price. when he has been good and won i have given him credit each and every time. i am honest to god hoping he can go 8 and win 1-0 today.
    other names i have posted under: none

    You are far more reasonable than you appear at first glance.

    I was matching the language from a post, but in fairness, I should have put constant in quotation marks. That's what happens when one posts during a boring teleconference.

    As for the second part, I'd just as soon he go 9 and win 10-0 (much more fun, especiallly against Showalter). The O's have firepower though; Trumbo and Davis seem like they can break their bat and still hit it over the fence sometimes.

    Of course that's the reason. They acquired Holaday for his defense, they had a lead in a close game, so of course you leave him in the game, especially when Benintendi and Pedroia were both going to have a shot at driving in the guys on 2d and 3d. Leaving Holaday in also gave Leon a full day off and a rest he no doubt needed.

    Plus I thought Holaday was solid in the 9th. That lead off double to the opposite field was on a knuckle curve that was up a little. Walking Napoli was OK given he is their best power hitter this year. What I especially liked was that Kimbrel, with Holaday catching, kept his composure with men on first and second and no one out. That's why he was able to get the next three guys out.
