It was rumored that Price was thinking about this, I don’t remember him trying it. It would probably work at times but there are so many downsides to it, I just don’t get it. It seems like a good way to start out down 5 runs by starting a guy that isn’t good enough to be a starter, closer or setup man. I’m a traditionalist, I love baseball as it was when I was a kid. I hate ideas like if a game goes to extra innings, you automatically put a runner on second just to shorten a game. Patience is part of the original recipe of what baseball is.
