David Price claims he isn't bothered by David Ortiz's angry tirade following the latest dust-up between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox.
But Price evidently was, at the very least, annoyed by Ortiz's declaration of "war" against him.
"He was mad, so I get it," Price told reporters Saturday, referring to Ortiz's postgame comments Friday. "We all say stupid stuff when we're mad. [I have] been there. I'm sure he probably wishes he wouldn't have said some of the things he said. You can't relate the game that we play to a war.
"Kellen Winslow got a lot of crap for saying he was a soldier. You're not a soldier. This is not war. We have troops fighting for us that are in a war. It's not a good comparison."
Ortiz was outraged Friday after Price drilled him with a first-pitch 94 mph fastball, setting the tone for a game that featured another benches-clearing incident between the AL East rivals. Ortiz, who homered twice off Price in last year's ALDS, said he had lost all respect for the former Cy Young Award winner after Boston's walk-off victory.
"I mean, it's a war," Ortiz said. "It's on. Next time he hits me, he better bring the gloves. I have no respect for him no more."
Price chose not to address Ortiz's comments Friday night but was much more talkative Saturday.
