I really hope he can muster a non-atrocious batting line so we can love him unqualified. I still wonder why there isn't some middle ground type of helmet. The standard one is just pathetic. Maybe a carbon fiber shell with some of those new "puck"-type air pads used in football helmets or something. Frankie’s willingness to use the Gazoo is yet another endearing thing about him.

He seems to expect that to be his permanent helmet. Cervelli has said it’s not about looks its about safety. He seems to expect that to be his permanent helmet.

I think Wright was foolish to ditch it so quickly. It's a not a flattering look, but I think the extra protection is necessary.

One thing he could do is switch to the hockey mask. I seem to recall that the traditional mask is better at protecting the face, but the hockey mask is better at protecting the head.

That's where Cervelli is probably more likely to get hit in the noggin again. Is there a more protective Gazoo type helmet for catchers to wear behind the plate?
