To follow up on SJK, here's Price's game log (I posted it after his last start too, but updated it after last night's game) since that mechanical adjustment:
May 12 vs Hou: 6.2 ip, 6 h, 1 r, 1 er, 1 bb, 12 k
May 18 at KC: 7.1 ip, 5 h, 2 r, 2 er, 1 bb, 5 k
May 24 vs Col: 7.0 ip, 5 h, 3 r, 3 er, 1 bb, 6 k
May 29 at Tor: 6.1 ip, 5 h, 2 r, 2 er, 3 bb, 3 k
Jun 3 vs Tor: 7.0 ip, 6 h, 3 r, 2 er, 4 bb, 5 k
Jun 8 at SF: 8.0 ip, 3 h, 2 r, 2 er, 2 bb, 7 k
Jun 14 vs Bal: 8.0 ip, 5 h, 3 r, 3 er, 0 bb, 11 k
I mean, I'm sorry, but that absolutely screams "Ace!". That's nearly 7.1 ip per start. Seven straight excellent starts against good opposition. Every one of those teams, except Colorado, is good. 0.93 whip, 8.8 k/9, is pretty impressive. Since the adjustment, the guy has been tremendous. In the 3 losses in those 7 games, the Sox have scored a grand total of 5 runs.
