Do we seriously NOT have a better backup catcher than Koyie?

[CubColtPacer]

Hill is just fine as a backup catcher. He's had 3 hits(including a huge HR) and 2 walks this week, not sure what more you want.

 

I wanted Blanco back, but Hill will do. He caught someone stealing last week on a tough pitch in the dirt. On the other hand, I don't know if he or Gregg called that curve to walk Milwaukee's 5th outfielder. That was inexcusable. But he's doing just fine so far.

 

Hill called that pitch and apologized for it afterward.

Good job then. I heard an interview with him today and he seemed like a cool guy.

I know it's highly unlike that he's going to keep these numbers up, but you gotta love it while it lasts......

My sarcasm meter is broken or something, I get to see a Geek Squand techie to get that :D fixed.

Mark Johnson is at AAA and he has ML experience. . . . . and he gave my son a ball 2 or 3 years ago, so that makes him incredibly awesome in my book.

 

Isn't your son old enough to step in yet? What's the holdup?

 

 

 

He doesn't want to catch. He has his eyes set on taking Soriano's job. . . .

I know that Koyie won't keep this up, but I think he'll wind up being a fine backup.

 

But still...
