who cares. if you use fox in the 7th as a pinch-hitter there's a decent chance the cubs are losing anyway. so they have to use fontenot as the catcher and they lose by four runs instead of three. big deal. i've never understood why everyone is so terrified of using a backup catcher as a pinch-hitter. the worst case scenario is extremely, extremely unlikely to happen and the end result is one stupid loss. big deal. I don't understand why the bolded is the case. The Cubs could well be up and bring Fox in to further increase the lead. ok, whatever, 64% of the time the cubs would be behind.
