After the game, Jason spoke to the media:
"“I’ve had some feeble at-bats the last few weeks, and I’ve had some really good ones.

As to his recent slump:
The slump had been building for a while, long enough so that when a radio reporter gently inquired about the catcher’s struggles “the last few days,” Varitek corrected him.
“It hasn’t been the last few days,” said Varitek, in a bit of self-effacement. “It’s been the last few weeks.”
