Glad to have Lee back in the lineup.

Would it take a decree from Bud Selig to get Lou to give Hill a day off and see Fox behind the plate. I know that Hill had a great day yesterday (2-3 with his first MLB triple) and Fox is an emergency guy but it's getting silly.

Agreed. Fox has handled the other positions well enough with the way he's hitting, and catcher's his natural position anyway. Give it a shot. If they're running on him all day or he's allowing a lot of wild pitches/passed balls, okay, don't do it anymore. But it's worth finding out. Then again, Soto's coming back maybe as early as next week so at this point it might not even matter.

[Butcher]

It seems like Fox hits everything hard -- even his outs are loud. It would be nice if he's serviceable behind the plate.

Has he been been getting in time with the staff? It's hard to throw someone who hasn't handled the position for a while back behind the dish.

He's has caught Wells before in the minors buy I don't expect to see him behind the plate

my issue is what happens if geo doesn't come back strong

I really wish our pitchers wouldn't throw so many 0-2 meatballs to oppposing hitters, especially Carlos fucking Lee.

Z is looking really good, but Magic Wandy still has our number. That pitch was still awful.

Nice one Derek!

[Coldneck]

So I'm listening to Len and Bob talk about the HR show Z put on in batting practice yesterday. This made me think that if he make another All Star Game, should he try to participate in the Home Run Derby? How cool would that be?
