jeffro2525 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) Anybody know who's been catching Gavin during this funk? Flowers seems to call more breaking balls. Flowers caught him last game. Same crap result. In fact, it was mentioned in that gamethread that maybe AJ should always catch him to avoid mental lapses...

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The only good thing to happen tonight was they replaced Alexei Ramirez's stolen gold medal from the 2004 Olympics for the Cuban national team. Had a ceremony in LF, Jose Contreras flew in to present it to Ramirez personally. Guess Ramirez was crying and very touched that Jose came all the way from Philly to do this. One of the really good things about the Sox organization. Jose on Tanks: "He has the face of a child." Called him Lanzador (pitcher) in Spanish, guess Viciedo was timed at 90-91, similar to our draft pick Hawkins. Jose also told Farmer that Viciedo had terrible control on the mound. C'mon AJ, please move your body and block those balls. Just lazy there, didn't square his body up and use the proper blocking procedure. Tends to stab at the ball instead and its come back to bite him quite a few times in his career with the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 AJ has not been picking the ball up well behind the plate of late. Last night, he was struggling big time with Jones' pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 What a disappointment Gavin's turned out since the highs of 2008. Can understand fans not wanting to go to any game he starts. But part of this inning's on AJ, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ajs been lazy his whole career. He rarely hustled down the line. Thank God he made that heads up play in the ALCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to use both curve and change more against them. Usually he feels around with the fastball and won't use his offspeed behind in the count -- also stays outside with everything for the most part. Been very predictable that the run of bad starts were all against VERY left handed teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
