Roy Oswalt Beats The Diamondbacks 1-0 On A 4 Hitter
Roy-O pitched to Chris Coste, who, in my opinion, is a MUCH better receiver than either Pudge or Q - very soft hands. He threws a TON of curveballs and that curve was most definitely working just FINE tonight - only one ball was well hit all night.

If you noticed this weekend, it was Lou Marson playing the Friday and Saturday games, while Chris Coste stepped in as day-game-after-night-game backup. A sea change at catcher?
