David Ortiz has some thoughts on the David Price-Dennis Eckersley incident

David Ortiz says he loves David Price, but suggested his his former Red Sox teammate should apologize to TV commentator Dennis Eckersley.

At Fenway Park for the 2007 World Series team’s 10-year anniversary celebration, the recently retired Red Sox slugger told reporters Sunday that an apology from Price could help defuse the situation.

According to the Boston Herald, Ortiz reasoned that emotions often get the best of players, but “whenever you do something wrong, you come out and do what you got to do and keep the line moving.”

Despite feuding with Price before they were teammates, Ortiz praised the 31-year-old pitcher’s character.
