Congrats to her.I thought she was just a good, solid writer when she was with the Inquirer. Now I realize how much I miss those.

Someone just asked on Lebatard the question of "if there are no runners on base why can't you shift the catcher to play another spot on the field?".
Hilarious thought but definitely not legal. Wish it was.

The catcher would have to go back after the 2nd strike anyway.
