The most notable item surfacing is the decision by Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora to start David Price in the second game of the series at Fenway Park. The Astros hit rather well against lefties and, alas, Price has a genetic disposition to use his left hand. And that is the good news.
The bad news is Price has done nothing of merit in his postseason starts to earn such confidence that somehow he will end his 0-9 drought. I am amazed that a pitcher this accomplished – and Price is – can be just so awful when it really counts.
