Fans can now watch Boston Red Sox lefty David Price play Fortnite on an app called Twitch. He can get away with that now that he’s won in the postseason.
Boston Red Sox ace David Price has finally won in the postseason and is a World Champion. He took a lot of heat from fans and the media for not pitching well when it mattered the most. He hadn’t lived up to the massive contract he signed for back in 2015 until now. With Price now winning the World Series he can do whatever he wants and the people that doubted him can say nothing.
Price can play as much Fortnite as he wants without any negative heat. He’s earned it. Price has taken his video game talents to a new app called Twitch, which allows people to watch him play Fortnite. It’s quite funny to hear him talk about it. There’s a mention of Nathan Eovaldi in one of the clips of Price saying Eovaldi better sign with the Sox.
The Fortnite controversy started at the beginning of the season for the ace pitcher. He missed a start against the New York Yankees because of Carpal Tunnel that was allegedly caused by playing the popular video game. He got so much heat for that because it was against an arch rival and people were saying he can’t pitch in October in the cold weather. The lefty also joked about not pitching in the All-Star game because he’d play a lot of Fortnite the night before. He would do anything to get the media and people to talk negative about him and it worked.
Now, what would people be saying if Price didn’t win in the playoffs and he made a Twitch of him playing video games? People would be going crazy because he’s getting all this money and can’t pitch well when it matters the most. Fans and the media would be all over the pitcher, saying that he is in the wrong field and should retire from baseball. It would probably go down as the worst signing in Red Sox history. Especially if he opted in after losing in the playoffs. The Sox would be stuck with a player who only likes to play video games until 2022.
But that didn’t happen.The lefty went 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts over 13 2/3 innings in the World Series.
Price can go around showing off his habit of playing Fortnite to millions of people on Twitch. He won in the playoffs, opted into his contract, and nobody can say anything negative about it. Price holds the cards now and can do whatever he wants.
