ClawCast: Anthony Gose
0.jpg” alt=”anthonygose” width=”150″ height=”150″ />Sat down for a ClawCast interview with BlueClaws CF Anthony Gose before the game on Friday (click here to listen)…Gose leads all of Minor League Baseball with 75 stolen bases (three more than Dee Gordon of the Dodgers Midwest League club)…Gose broke the BlueClaws all-time record set by Chris Roberson in 2003 when he stole his 60th base on August 4th…some snippets:
- Upcoming playoffs: “For some of us, it’s the first chance to be on a team that can win a ring. It’s very exciting.”
- Feel fresh? “I feel normal. I don’t feel tired. I don’t want to say ‘fresh,’ since I don’t feel as well as I felt at the beginning of the year but I definately don’t feel tired.”
- Stolen base resurgence: “I’ve seen a lot of these pitchers, so I know what I can do with who is pitching…I’ve made better reads, but pitchers are getting tired…end of the year, they want to get in and get out, and I think that’s helped a little bit too.”
- On Kannapolis: “They probably have the best bullpen in the league that we’ve seen. They come out to play every day…They have a lot of fun, swing the bat, and hit the fastball. If we put up more runs that we’ve been putting up, we’ll be pretty good.”
- Leading off vs hitting 2nd: “I like hitting 2nd…It gives me a chance to get some more fastballs with Garcia on base and I get the chance to drive in some runs.”
- Moving forward: “The game never chances, people get better, but the game doesn’t change.”
- Needs to improve: “Working better counts…I’ve always been about swinging at the pitch I want to hit. But that can cost you at bats too.”
