July 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) Hopefully Flowers can get into a better rhythm with more consistent at bats. That's the most optimistic you've ever been.
July 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) That's the most optimistic you've ever been. He looked better in the game on Sunday.
July 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 05:15 PM) f*** Indeed. More Tyler Flowers isn't a good thing.
July 24, 201213 yr Ouch. This can be pretty lingering issues. So I guess this is why he wasn't playing. I wonder when it happened. He looked alright whacking that double yesterday. Maybe he's got a bruise from when he was HBP yesterday?
July 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 05:26 PM) Sore ribs or a strained oblique? Slight strain of the right oblique
July 24, 201213 yr Author Any catchers on the market? I'd like to see the Sox get Salty, even if AJ is ok in a few days

July 24, 201213 yr I might be overconfident, but if it is for a few games, I'm fine with Flowers. I still think he can be a league average starting catcher. Defensively he's made great strides and offensively he doesn't exactly have the type of low maintenance swing bench players need.
July 24, 201213 yr I think this is being blown out of proportion. AJ said he can catch fine, he just can't swing right now. I bet he is back before this weekend.
July 24, 201213 yr Hopefully he's back at 100% in a few days, because if this is a prolonged or lingering injury, "This season is ovah!"
July 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) I think this is being blown out of proportion. AJ said he can catch fine, he just can't swing right now. I bet he is back before this weekend. He wasn't gonna play tomorrow probably with a 100-degree day game, and Thursday is an off day. Right now it lookes one missed game for him and 3 days to rest. I wouldn't start worrying until the weekend.
July 24, 201213 yr Hawk..."You're darn right, I had an oblique pull for six years, kept me from making the Red Sox Hall of Fame."
July 24, 201213 yr Poor AJ. I wouldn't expect Flowers to do much the first 3-4 games in the lineup. He has to be full of rust. He plays so little.
July 25, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) A.J. swung just fine last night... I heard he pulled it closing down The Continental.
July 25, 201213 yr QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Since Seattle is in sell mode ask them about Olivo would be my suggestion... His OPS is 9 points higher than Tyler Flowers'
