Cleveland — The topic was the unpredictable nature of pitching, for which this Tigers staff could be a case study.
“I love that saying, ‘Insanity is repeating something over and over again expecting different results,’” Blaine Hardy said. “Except it doesn’t apply to baseball.”
To illustrate his point, Hardy recalled a start by David Price early in his brief stay with the Tigers. It was Aug. 27, 2014 against the Yankees and Hardy remembers it well because he replaced him in the game. After two scoreless innings, Price gave up nine straight hits and five runs without recording an out in the third.
