This has nothing to do with Varitek's abilities as a catcher. He attempted to protect his pitcher (from an obvious ejection possibility) and it worked. Hell, I would have probably tried to tossed both of em' Beckett for the loud obscenity and Varitek for turning around to argue balls and strikes..... but hey that's why Tichenor is the pro and that’s why he got it right!
