He could have framed it better, but Wood missed the target by the width of the plate and the ball was 3 inches off the plate. Blame falls on Wood (and one the evil, mean "message" pitch to start the at bat).

It was a stupid target, you set-up down the middle to a pitcher on a 3-2 pitch. And the way AJ caught it made it look worse.
 
Joey T didn't look sharp in AA when I saw him so I didn't agree with adding him right now (and pinch hitting he's not been good at even when sharp). I'd gave him some time in AAA first.
 
This ones gonna sting, Cole was hittable today, didnt have his top stuff like he usually does.

AJ has a terrible DRS the last two years for a reason and is known to be a bad pitch framer. And at last checked he was the second worst in DRS among catchers. Further, It's true I don't like him and that he's a bad catcher but I am hardly alone among fans or players in that regard so using that as argument is weak.

You know what is a weak argument? Blaming AJ for Wood walking the pitcher.
 
Ok, now I have to admit the 3rd by Maybin off Cole was the most impressive AB I've watched this year. He turned on that inside heat with a very nice compact swing and hit an absolute missile.
