David Price was lit up for seven earned runs in seven-plus innings Saturday as the Rays allowed the Red Sox to take a 2-0 ALDS lead. Price must have tuned into the TBS postgame show after his outing because this is what he tweeted to his more than 180,000 followers late Saturday night:
Dirk Hayhurst…COULDNT hack it…Tom Verducci wasn’t even a water boy in high school…but yet they can still bash a player…SAVE IT NERDS

The show — featuring Hayhurst, Verducci, Keith Olbermann, Pedro Martinez and Mark DeRosa — has actually been refreshingly entertaining for a studio analysis program. And their takes on Price’s poor start were far from controversial. Price — a Vanderbilt man — should be able to do better than “SAVE IT NERDS.”
