One of those dumb things in baseball where the manager feels if he doesn't give the guy the number 2 start it will shake his confidence even more than it has already been shaken. Price has pitched pretty well this season, but again, not against the Yankees. Yankees have Price's number and Price does nothing to change up his approach, so they have a good idea what pitch is coming and where he is going to place it. The right move would have been to put him in the bullpen for this series, but then he would have felt bad and we can't have that.
So annoying! Think it even bothers the Braves batters.

Well, Kimbrel made it look hard in the bottom of the 9th, but had just enough to get it done. Sox in 4! Good bye Yankees and back to Boston to start the AL Championship Series against the Astros. Both teams get to loaf until Saturday, so all pitchers will be available and ready for whatever line-up the coaches cook up.
