2007 #1 Draft Pick, DAVID PRICE Makes Nationals Debut!

Bottom of The 7th: Running Out of Gas?

Cody Ross-grounds out 3 unassisted. Josh Willingham rips a hard liner to Belliard for out number two.

(mound conference)

I see his energy is low, so I'm hoping the conference will give him that 'umph' to finish out this half inning.

Cameron Maybin absolutely tattoos a drive to DEEP right center. Maybin can fly. He goes into third with a two-out triple. Price reaches back on a 2-2 count and strikes out Jason Wood for the third out. The rookie was stellar in the debut. This will be the end of the night for Price.

Top of The 8th

with one out, Willie Harris comes in to pinch hit for David Price. He strikes out swinging. Nook Logan grounds out 4-3. Side retired. Heading to the bottom of the 8th, it's 8-0 Nats.

I did read, and I did like. Very entertaining! I read just most all of the MLB The Show dynasty pages/posts I can find. It's a ton of insight as to how you guys play the game and the things you look for/imagine are happening. Keep up the great work!

RC...you think Price is going to make the club?...

If you could...I'm updating the Full Minors set...I'd like to know who you think the Nats are putting on the 25 man roster and who their starting players would be at each position.

Thanks...

Re: 2007 #1 Draft Pick, DAVID PRICE Makes Nationals Debut!

Wow, I remember when RC was proclaiming how terrible MLB was!

Now, look at how he's still playing this game, almost daily. That seems like quite a ways, doesn't it.
