Fox- I don't blame Dusty
Submitted by Moe Thacker on Sat, 2005-04-30 09:52.
Dusty has caught alot of flak for bringing in Fox with a 7 run lead. Fox pitched the day before. The game was in hand. He is blamed for Fox's injury by Steve Stone. I'm sorry Fox got hurt ( although if he was our closer, we're hurtin. But a relief pitcher in the major leagues should be able to throw almost every day. If you can't do it, you shouldn't be on the roster. Fox was an accident waiting to happen. Dusty is not the most astute handler of pitchers but this is not his faulr.

Yes, it's silly to blame Bake
Yes, it's silly to blame Baker for this. If Fox didn't break down in this game, he was going to eventually. I faulted Baker for bringing Fox in the game at the time, but I did so because I thought Leicester could use some work, and that would have been a good opportunity to use him. I didn't oppose bringing Fox in because of a risk of injury.
