Yall are talking specific to last night I suppose I'm talking about the overall persona Need a win today, need to win series
The problem is we are going to continue to see Carter catch many more games than Conger. Unless Castro has a big advantage defensively, there is no reason to see him catch so many games.

I'm not sure exactly what was said but he and Conger got into it at the plate and the benches cleared. Fielder was the big peace maker
The same Fielder who pushed AJ? If he had just remained in the on-deck circle then I don't think anything would have escalated. Umpire was already between Odor and Conger.
I'd characterize it more as "fortunate"... border-line pitches that really shouldn't be "taken" like he did. Doesn't look like he has a great idea of what he's trying to do at the plate... (i.e. - still looks lost).
