[soapy]

wouldn't have minded seeing Fox behind the plate today. day game after a night game and i assume (perhaps wrongly) that he has some experience catching Wells.

[laurens]

Yesterday's loss put a stop to a 5 game winning streak... so today is a good day to start a new one :D

[haubrich91]

We can't lose to MIKE HAMPTON. Let's go, be the second half team we've become!

What does Hill sucking have to do with Fukudome not starting?

 

Nothing. But there is no situation in which Koyie Hill is the better option than Jake Fox.

[Keener98]

Well then why are you complaining about Fuku not starting when Reed has historically hit leftys really good? And there is a situation where Hill is better than Fox, its called defense. I like Fox as well, but putting him out there with a rookie on the mound, and against a team that has pretty good speed, is asking for problems.
