Morning sports update: David Price is upset with the Boston media
The Red Sox and Yankees will face off in the rubber match of their series Thursday night, with David Price taking the mound for the Boston and Michael Pineda for New York.
Success of Red Sox rotation hinges on David Price: After the game Wednesday night, Price snapped at a reporter from Comcast SportsNet New England in a hallway leading from the clubhouse to the dugout. Price returned to his locker but declined at least two interview requests, deferring any comments until after he pitches Thursday night. (ESPN)
David Price’s postgame spat with media way over the top: Price informed me that yes, from now on, he’d only talk on days he pitches. He followed with this: “Write whatever the (expletive) you want. Just write it. Whatever the (expletive) you want.” (Boston Herald)
Piling on David Price makes no sense: “I’m not cautious,’’ Price insisted. “I’m the same me. I don’t talk to the media every day like I did last year and I guess I get blown up for that. But I was honest with everything they asked me last year and I get blown up for that. So they did this to themselves. Talk to me on the day I pitch and that’s it. There are no more personal interviews. There are no more asking me questions on a personal level. That’s done.’’ (Boston Globe)
I double checked league’s expectations. Per MLB, it is expected and encouraged, but not required, that any player to speak to the media. https://t.co/LZtxfz7uDu

New Patriots TE Dwayne Allen frustrated with dropped passes at minicamp: “There’s a standard of excellence here,” Allen said after Wednesday’s minicamp session. “So if you drop a pass, that’s not excellence. … It’s always frustrating whenever you don’t do your best.” (WEEI)
