Price’s uncharacteristic outing leads to crushing Game 1 loss
David Price stood in the middle of the Blue Jays clubhouse, his back against a wall, his eyes large and sad, his words spoken slowly, his explanations as puzzling to him as they are to the rest of baseball.
What he didn’t say — and might have been thinking — is this was a playoff beginning for the Blue Jays, for this country and, for him, it might both a beginning and an end.
Price started Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series for the Jays, but for him to start again in this series — maybe for the last time as a Jay — there would have to be a Game 5.
Otherwise, it’s likely over. His time with the Blue Jays. His time in Toronto. The bath robes. The scooters. The smiles. The excitement. A roll of the championship dice gone wrong on a Thursday afternoon that turned to evening, silenced the screaming crowd at the Rogers Centre and felt very much like a punch in the gut coming all too soon in the ALDS.
