Good to see more lazy defense from AJ

 

He didn't know where the ball was, how can you blame him?

I hate Matt Thornton sometimes...especially in tie games.

 

AJ, once again, never can move his feet and get in front of a pitch. That's the second time this has happened tonight.

 

You just can't give up that run there....JESUS

He also shouldn't be pitching right now. This is a big game.

Funny thing is I'm sure you're making fun of marty, but if someone was willing to take his remaining contract off our books, then I'm not so sure you don't let them.

 

I think there would be a few teams that would

He didn't know where the ball was, how can you blame him?

 

He tried to backhand the pitch instead of block it with his chest.

Oh AJ, just lazy as hell behind the plate of late. No effort to block that.

 

I'm thinking about the runner now...I think in this situation he was just being dumb and not thinking about the runner at 3B

 

Dumb defense prevails over lazy defense in this case

Got it, I turned around and only saw the replay.

AJ might be the laziest ballplayer I've ever seen. I mean that. God, I hate him.

What? Is he blind?

That's a very far leap to make

If we lose this one Im not sure Ill watch the game tomorrow. I dont like watching our own pitching get shelled.

People call Rios lazy. He's not lazy, he's dumb. There's a huge difference. AJ's not dumb, he's just f***ing lazy.

I'm just ready to turn the page with AJ and Thornton and go with younger players.

 

It's going to suck to watch Flowers and Phegley struggle, but at least they'll hustle and not take every day in the majors for granted.

 

Yeah, AJ's been great offensively, but you just know that won't continue and then KW will end up overpaying or extending his contract again and he'll be mediocre and rebuilding will never occur with this team.

You hate AJ? Hard to hate AJ as a Sox fan. I do think that him and Konerko have been extremely lackadaisical of late

I dont think AJ is lazy at all. Quite the opposite from everything I hear actually.

Have you ever seen another MLB level player who refuses to run out pop ups more than him? He doesn't run s*** out. He never has.

Seriously? Those guys aren't major leaguers.

I do agree with that and I've honestly been more upset with PK's laziness.

 

I think AJ not getting down on pitches could be helped if we rested him like a normal catcher

AJ hustles more than the average MLB player, absolutely for sure. I'd venture to say that his career doesn't get this far if he hadn't had a reputation for hustling and being in the right place at the right time.

 

His defense lately has been getting lazy though. I have to wonder if it is because he gets far less rest than your average MLB catcher

I've hated him ever since he threw the elbow at Frank at the Metrodome. I don't like him so it forces me to be way more objective. I'm happy when he does well, it helps the Sox, but he's a lazy, s*** talking SOB.

Thanks for nothing EE.

You've met him before and know his work habits?

Crazy down angle on these pitches

You are 0-for-2 in that assessment

Swing the bat...stupid double switch
