Did anyone notice Griffey
After the HR in the 4th was very upset at someone in the crowd and the camera came on him and he sounded like he dropped an F bomb. Not seem him that upset and after a HR. Just curious if anyone saw that and saw the same thing I did.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
I saw the throat-slashing motion Griffey made toward a fan after he hit the homer.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
I'm betting the receiver of said insult had said much worse.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
I think it's probably Junior's fatal flaw.
I don't think there is any doubt that KGJ is a good guy, and a someone that is very well liked by teammates and others that know him well. His behind the scenes acts of generosity have been well documented.
However, he has always been extremely sensitive. And I think that sensitivity has made him a bit wary of the media and fans....and in turn, it's been hard for many people to "get to know" KGJ.
Obviously, I have no clue what the fan said, but chances are it wasn't anything that lots of athletes don't hear, regardless of how rude (or even vulgar) it may have been.
With Junior, I've always felt that he could have an entire stadium standing and giving him an ovation, but if there was one guy in the front row ripping him, he would only be able to focus on that one guy.

I've always thought that Griffey probably hears worse than the typical player. Big-time players are an easier target for fans that like to run their mouths. In Cincy, fans believe they know his innermost thoughts and that he's a cancer to the team. He received at least one confirmed death threat in Seattle before he left. If that's what people do in towns that he plays for, I can't imagine what he hears from opponent's fans.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
Doc Rogers just said that there are no radios in the dugout, so I would guess that the fan probably was on his case all night and he just lost it. I've seen Junior heckled many times and he usually laughs and gives it right back. This had to be bad.
Of course John Q Fann on the talk shows will condemn him and try to run him out of town on a rail. It will be Junior's fault, no doubt. Just like it's Dusty's fault that has no righthanded alternative to Votto at first, no shortstop, and a rookie CF'er who is struggling. It is his fault that he bats that CF'er leadoff and his non-major league SS second, but that's another thread.

But there are radios in the clubhouse and both clubhouses always have the 700 feed going during games. Wouldn't surprise me if someone told Junior about the comment. Doesn't mean that's what he was responding to, but it's a definite possibility.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
Funny thing. I'm sure he got dogged for not going after that ball then he comes up big and throws a guy out all the way in. Seems a little motivation goes a long way with KGJ these days. I hope so. This team needs a fire ........................ fill in yourself.

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
What comment did Brantley make that would set Junior off like that?

Re: Did anyone notice Griffey
Give him the Danny Graves cure for f-bombs addressed at fans? The precedent is there.
