Yep.

Hopefully LaToya melts down now and renders that decision meaningless.

Fontenot as backup catcher is an option?

For 2 innings, sure (it's already happened when Fox came in as a defensive replacement for Hill). So is putting Fox in left or right.

Wow, LaToya gets the toss, love it.

Fox may not be good defensively as a catcher, but he is a catcher. That's what he was in college and where he played for his first few years in the minors.

I'm not sure that there's many worse ideas than relying upon a non-catcher to catch.

Are you just completely ignoring the fact that I also said they could've left him in the OF?

Don't forget that Lou put a pitcher in LF at one point this year, so it's not like he's above taking risks.

[sleepyhead]

Fuck.

So, now you have to pinch hit Fox right?
