You have a pre-conceived notion that you want to believe. Of course you'd view a single start as proof. Who knows. Maybe Moore puts Fister in a positive mindset due to familiarity or whatever (which doesn't mean RJ would either btw). We don't know yet until we see them work together more often.
Would Fister have done better with RJ behind the plate against NY or Texas last month? Maybe, but I seriously doubt it. Thats just going to happen from time to time when you have a guy with so-so stuff who is around the plate against a bunch of mashers. Most of the rookies have done better with Johjima behind the plate anyways, so I don't see what you're basing your argument on.
I just despise it when Johjima is blamed for a pitcher's mistake (the above shows why people are wrong for doing that). Certain pitchers (mostly young-ins) have done better with Johjima, some (mostly vets) have done better with RJ.
