In the 12th game today Goico served to Luis and Luis did a
quick throw picada that beat Goico. Goico didn't like it and started
complaining right away, raising his arms and complaining to the
judges. Goico should be the last person raising his arms.
In the same game Irastorza throws a ball to about the 11 line.
Goico catches it and proceeds to take three steps towards to the
outside practically pushing Irastorza to the wood. Then Goico
thows it inside where Irastorza now has no chance of getting because
he was driven off the court. Irastorza gave Goico a look and looked
at the judges.
It has to stop. The holding and walking by Goico is ridiculous.
If a player is put into a disadvantaged position he has to throw
from that position. He should not be allowed to hold ,take steps
and turn it to his advantage. That is called dirty jai-alai.
It's too bad because Goico is very,very good but his legacy will
be the he was a dirty player.
Arriaga (Dania) really started this type of holding, but Goico
has taken to to an all time high. But he is allowed-- never a
whistle.
The only player that was dirty back in the 80's was Zabala. He
would catch a right side and stare you down, then throw.
So Goico, please keep your arms down, you are the last one who
should be complaining about a players motion.
