Dick Allen Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The Sox should sell it like the circus. Come see the catcher who can't catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) f*** it put Leury at catcher. He's done everything else on this team. lol I'm kidding Edited July 22, 2014 by Bigsoxhurt35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing Conor wasn't playing catcher over Barrett when AJ got punched in the face. He would shoot icy daggers at him and AJ would be obligated to apologize for his unruly actions of being himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hayes tweeted this last season: In case you're wondering, #WhiteSox emergency catcher is Conor Gillaspie. Never caught before. He's just the guy in case. 1:33 PM - 26 May 2013 Also, this tidbit from a 5/27 article: • Conor Gillaspie would have served as the emergency catcher Monday, after Flowers was ejected and Adrian Nieto came into the game. Ventura gave him the nod over Leury Garcia, but Paul Konerko, who came up with the Dodgers as a catcher, no longer is in the running. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws Edited July 22, 2014 by Señor Ding-Dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
