Okay, why Fox instead of Powell?


I understand the Fox out of Options Bind we're in- but if Landon Powell is called up to catch, why did he not catch last night? I'm sure somebody can give me a statistical breakdown on the comparison between the two catchers, but my general observation is that he isn't really that good of a catcher. Maybe being thrust into the lineup at the last hour threw him off or something, but he just didn't seem to be in sync with Braden at all. And that missed popup- jeez....pretty sloppy. With Suzuki now the latest expected visitor to the A's personal DL, should we expect Powell to be the main presence behind the plate?
