Dodgers: David Price calls out MLB on Twitter over ‘deadening’ baseballs

Los Angeles Dodgers starter David Price has yet to play for the team, but he’s remained relevant thanks to his activity on social media. He cheered on his squad during the World Series and was impressed with the Trevor Bauer signing.

Price has also never been one to shy away from making his voice heard … which is probably a big reason why he wasn’t popular in Boston, where the fans want the players to shut up and play since there’s an odd belief among the base that’s their only role to play while on planet Earth.

Not the case in LA! Price took aim at Major League Baseball on Tuesday, calling out the league after news broke that the baseballs would be “deadened” for the 2021 season. And he’s got a point. Remember when commissioner Rob Manfred claimed the baseballs weren’t juiced?

By “deadening” the baseballs you’re all but officially admitting that they were juiced, right? The spike in home runs was no coincidence.

Random power surges across the entire sport — especially when pitching is arguably the best its even been in a historical context of the game — don’t just randomly happen. Something was up these past few years.

Like Price said, a lot of pitchers knew. There were comments from many of the game’s biggest stars, like Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, criticizing the league and Manfred. Remember?! Verlander called it a “f—ing joke” because Manfred made it clear the league wanted more offense, and then this all of a sudden happened.

Don’t forget, MLB owns Rawlings, the company that makes the balls for the league.

Plus, MLB conducted its own study and claimed there was no evidence of the balls being juiced. An internal investigation to … absolve themselves from the countless and loud accusations from their employees. Seems fair and impartial if you ask us!

Now, let’s see what Price and other pitchers have to say when they get their hands on the new ball in 2021. That’ll be the most telling of all, because we know we can’t trust Manfred and his cronies.
