 Why? I don't, I don't understand the timing of this. So whatever was bugging David Price here, clearly he's taking shots at, I don't know who called him soft, but whatever it is, right? And the stuff that he's dealt with. It was just a simple question about the line drive that he took. It was no, there was nothing, there was no drama there. He's been pitching well. He's gotten rid of the carpal tunnel. He's pitched four really good starts in a row. Why? I have no idea, but you know, at a certain point, you need to grow up and you need to humble yourself and focus on one, staying healthy and two, competing for your ball club. Make it simple. I mean, he's having these little spats and in Boston and in the media, the pin is mightier than the sword. And you want your club and you want your fans to be on your side because times aren't always gonna be good as you've seen in the bumps in the road he's already had. So he's gotten to fight with Eckersley on a plane that's been public. Now he's shooting shots at the media. And again, you can tell it's from the gut because really the question, was he even about him being soft? So he's doing too much of listening to the radio and the press clipings. He needs to just go out there and compete because he's a big part of his rotation. And he plays well. They have a chance to win a World Series. Well, that's the thing. I mean, you hit the nail on the head. I mean, he's pitched great four starts in a row. Now you want to pop off? Yeah. I'm telling you, man. Like I think that's the biggest thing. And I know David knows this, that you can get away with that stuff and Tampa. It's a smaller market. There's only a couple guys in that locker room covering the team. But in a humongous media market full of people that go to work each and every day and grind to have tickets to go watch those guys play for a man that has a $200 million contract. $200 million. $200 million contract for him to say that. A lot of Dunkin' Donuts. I don't know what he's trying to do, but we saw what he did last year when he got into the media and saw his numbers plummeted, right? So we're going to see exactly what's going to happen right now. But go ahead. Keep fighting that medium. He needs a no man. Keep fighting that medium. You're in that locker room like, hey, calm down, man. Like, calm down. Well, I think that's the problems. I think he showed up in Boston and he established how he was going to act and nobody was going to tell him anything. Well, Pedroia's off that bench now. So let's see if he can police that. Let's see Pedroia, he's the captain. Let's see if he can pull him aside and say, hey man, focus, we need you, man. And again, I agree, you're making a lot of money. No one's going to sympathize with you right now about that. I will tell you this, I've never seen anyone beat the media. I've never seen it. It's not going to work. He's got to, she's got to change it. Come on, come on, Pryce, you got this, bro. Come on now. Move on. So we'll see what kind of drama comes from that in Red Sox Nation. Just take me from the baseball etiquette perspective. Was that clean or was that dirty? Okay, so I'm going to show you, I'm actually going to get down here and show you what I think is the difference in between an illegal slide and a dirty slide. Because you'll read the rule later, okay? Anytime you get in trouble as a slide, when your spikes start to elevate, that's when it is considered a dirty slide. Correct, train? When Rizzo came into the plate, whether he deviated from his line or not, he came across with a hook, right? So he just kind of hooked his back foot. You can see it in this picture right now. He kind of came here like this, right? That's not a dirty slide. It could be considered an illegal slide, but not a dirty slide. Coming from a father, like my father, Steve Spritzer, who was a major league catcher for 10 years, right? The thing that I looked at that play when I saw Diaz, when that throw came from short, he did not clear himself far enough from the plate to get out of trouble. This is the major leagues, man. There's grown men running around out here. Coming downhill. So I feel like in a situation like that, Diaz could have helped it out a little bit more, because as a base runner and coming up in the game, you're always taught to get the catcher's back leg, right? Okay, so you don't think it's dirty before we get to the rule. How about you? If that's your catcher, what do you think about that? In the locker room, that's dirty. For one reason, he's got down late, so the intention was to make him deviate that throw. He hit his leg, and again, if it was Diaz, if it was Posey, people would have been, or Molina, they would have been irate. So that's the problem I have with it. Now, yes, I do agree with you, Swish. He should have cleared himself a little more so he can not only get out of the way, but put more on the throw, get that double up. But in this situation, if you can't do that as second base, how come you can do that at a home plate? It's the same type of rule, same type of play. You're trying to break up a double play and a defenseless infielder. So it's a tough play. I would protect my guys. Rizzo, I'm sorry, I love Rizzo. I'm knocking him down the next day if I'm pitching. The sender message, not only in their locker room, but in my locker room, that I'm gonna defend my guy regardless of what the rule is. But I think that's fair, and look, I think we all know Anthony Rizzo is one of the good guys in league. He played us hard, yeah. He's not trying to hurt him. He's trying to break up a double play. But the bottom line is they blew the call because if we take a look at the rule, the rule is plain and simple. And this doesn't matter second base home plate, whatever, here it is, rule 6.01. The runner does not engage on a bona fide slide and initiates contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play. He should be called for interference clearly. That's what Anthony Rizzo did. That should have absolutely been interference, been a double play, and that's it. They blew it. Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why it's an illegal slide. It's not a dirty slide. Right. He's not trying to hurt him. Right, so bottom line is- He's just trying to help his team. You're okay with the effort they're trying to make a little play. I'm okay with that. He should have been called a double play. It's a drill, one, three. And you would have drilled them the next day. It's a Draymond Green type of play. We love Rizzo, but he's the Draymond Green of their locker room. He's gonna be the enforcer. He's gonna send a message. I love the play, and again, if I'm on the cup side, I like that, because it ends up scoring runs for them. But if I'm in the picks for a side, I'm coming right here, swishy, swish. I'm gonna send a message that you don't do that ever again to my guy. Well, guess what? They play tomorrow, so we'll check it out. Well, also too, DS2's talking about new school. We live in the new school era. There's a difference between when Rizzo came up and now when DS comes up. That's the rule. That's the bottom line.
