A little off subject, but I pulled out my World Series tshirt that had the backs of the uniforms for the 25 man roster. I had absolutely forgotten who the back up catcher was on that squad until I saw his name, probably because AJ played so much. Did anyone else have that memory dump?

I can picture him, but the name eludes me.

He had an awesome bases loaded walk in Game 3.  Clearly biggest play of that game.

The slurve is really nasty. 15ish MPH slower than his fastball and great movement.

When he gets the save at Fenway next August after Teel and the recently called up Braden Montgomery take Crochet yard, we will have definitively won the trade.

have we ever had two catchers bat 1/2 before?

It's a good thing they're light years better than the Sox, or this series could have gotten ugly.
