I guess it's just his age slowing him down I am noticing. He looks like a different catcher from when he started with us to now.
I was watching the A's vs Yanks the other night and watching Vogt move around to make sure every ball stayed in front of him when the game was tied was nice to see compared to Martin trying to pick the ball out of the dirt when we are trying to keep the score close to come back and win.
EDIT: Just curious DJQ did you watch all of the game last night? I know it's a littler later for you guys when it's in Texas(not by much though). I can't really be the only one bothered by that pitch(I wanna say it was in the 7th?) that Martin never even tried to keep in front of him. Just ole'd(Olayed ?) it trying to pick it rather than keep it in front of him. If I am the only one bothered by it I'll shut up(although I should just do that anyways clearly
) and let things run their course but I was pretty into that game last night and it was close to being a costly play.
