Price threw an above average game... yes.
BUT Price was not even in the same atmosphere as Kuma was. Kuma was un-hittable. Price was somewhat less than un-hittable.
What made Price tougher was Gary's strike zone... and I'll give you at least 4 great pitch sequences.
There were plenty of opportunities for the Mariners to drive in an extra run or two though. We missed our opportunities... not because of talent, but because of our aggressiveness and lack of plan during the at bat. A lot of this is due to inexperience, but all of it. HoJo and LLoyd need to be doing a better job of coaching in these types of games.
For example, to try to prove my point - If the Mariners offense faced Kuma last night, the M's would have been lucky to get a player to second base... and I guarantee the Rays score at least 2 runs on Price. I doubt many disagree with that.
