Chicago Sun-Times White Sox Beat Writer Joe Cowley takes on White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in an attempt to steal 10 bases in Spring Training in 2008.
Cowley is one of (if not the biggest) jag bags in Chicago. And for everyone who rips AJ for not being able to throw guys out, you don't know as much about baseball as you think. The White Sox pitching staff is horrendous at keeping runners close (with the exception of Buehrle). Anyone who knows baseball will tell you, being able to throw guys out rests on the pitching staff just as much as on the catcher, AJ doesn't have a chance to throw guys out half the time because of the jumps they get.

#1... No need for this guy to be trying to steal off a lefty
#2... He's getting decent leads but his jumps are horrible.

Also its much easier to throw someone out if you know they are going

This is stupid. Its his job to throw out the runner. Its the reporters job to report on how bad or good Aj is doing

Totally unfair that a lefty was on the mound. Even Carl Crawford has a tough time stealing off of lefties.
