Dan Shaughnessy Is Surprised The Orioles Are Tied Atop AL East
Dan Shaughnessy is a sports columnist for the Boston Globe.
Dan joined Ed and Steve to talk about the upcoming series between the Orioles and Red Sox which starts tonight with the two teams tied for the AL East lead.
Dan started by talking about if he is surprised these two teams are sitting atop the AL East saying "Baltimore surprises me a little bit...I just think coming out of the spring I was worried about the Orioles pitching but you have a great manager and a great bullpen I'm happy to see it." As for David Price and how he's viewed in Boston this season Dan said "he hasn't been electric or had those Pedro moments...he kind of bottomed out in New York about seven starts ago, he's pitched better his last six starts or so."
Dan was asked about the season David Ortiz is having and the whispers of possible PED use and said "my reaction is the same as your reaction, the reaction here is wow Big Papi is doing it again...I agree with everything being said, the only comparable is Barry Bonds." As for how he feels about Ortiz and PED use in baseball Dan said "I've had my go at it, I'll let the national people go at it...what he's doing is unbelievable."
Dan also talked about Ubaldo Jimenez's up and down performances this season and what the Orioles can possibly do in the situation.
