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...

Yeah, Jesus Christ

Backdoor style, eh Hawk

Great Schafer aboard on a strikeout and we all know he's gonna be stealing...what a crap run this would be.

God damn it AJ go to your knees you lazy motherf***er

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.

 

 

AJ has not been picking the ball up well behind the plate of late. Last night, he was struggling big time with Jones' pitches.

AJ has really made some lazy ass plays this season...good thing he's hitting.

Thought Gavin had him picked off there.

Maybe it's the lack of rest. The last thing Gavin needs is his catcher making him earn extra outs.

Meltdown coming...

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.

 

 

Ajs been lazy his whole career. He rarely hustled down the line. Thank God he made that heads up play in the ALCS.

Nice job minimizing the damage by Gavin. I looked up his numbers, and I had no idea that lefty hitters are just destroying him this season.

Good job pitching over it.

Escaped from that near-disaster.

 

 

Tigers back to within 1 against Latos, 4-3. CLE up early 2-0 over the Cardinales.

Until this inning his pitch selection them has been brutal. 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.

YOu mean run of bad starts IS, present tense...continuing.

Alexei either pops it up or tops the ball...very rarely has he hit line drives this year. His swing needs significant work right now.

Let's get it Adam.

Watcha looking for, Adam?

I was wrong about sitting Dunn tonight. I'll admit it already.

That was anti-climatic. Got a massive hanger, and couldn't do anything with it.

That sucks.

 

Well, at least we made him work and Konerko hit the ball on the nose. Dunn didn't K, Beckham got a hit. There's that.

 

10 career grand slams for Paulie.

 

 

7 Ks for Da 'OYD. I am impressed. Might get a qs as well.
