David Price could have taken the opportunity Saturday to apologize for berating Dennis Eckersley on the Red Sox's plane last month. Instead, Price delivered a different message to the pitcher-turned-team broadcaster.

"Just show your face," he told reporters.

Speaking to the media for the first time since being placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday, Price admitted he could have confronted Eckersley "probably a different way" than mocking and cursing at him on the team plane June 29. But rather than saying he was sorry, Price doubled down, claiming Eckersley doesn't spend as much time in the Red Sox's clubhouse as most other broadcasters.
