Catching On

The Marlins are a bit short behind the plate tonight. With Mike Redmond injured, Ramon Castro went down in the 2nd. Mike Mordecai has taken over behind the plate, the 2nd time he’s been called upon to catch in his major league career. He’s done a good job; as the announcers observed, they haven’t had to comment on the job he’s doing, so Mike’s getting it done. There have been a couple of stolen bases against him, but the one I saw, the throw from Mike was real close. The real question, what are the Marlins going to do long term if both Redmond and Castro are injured?
