The number... I was going to make a joke about your dating life, but I'll pass on it.

You can't wait for Joe and Donnie to get back now, huh?

Those guys did not fly down together, however, huh?

They did not.

That's a shame.

Are they both visiting Ron?

You meet him for happy hour?

I was going to say, was Michael McHenry down there too?

He was not.

Oh, I thought you meant that if he was still in the process of it right now, then I think he would be mortified and terrified.

You guys could get hurt.

There could be a multitude of things that happened that could allow McCutcheon to come back.

But obviously right now the odds seem very slim.

I think that this is the only acceptable thing that Pirates fans could have asked for with no Andrew McCutcheon return.

Because it clearly shows that, A, they wanted to fully upgrade the roster, improve that DH spot from one of the worst in all of baseball.

Partially because McCutcheon just can't do it anymore full-time.

But also, B...

I wish Bob that they would have handled the entire situation differently and told him maybe it was September of last year or entering free agency or gave him a good enough notice.

I think McCutcheon was owed that.

Like, hey, this is it.
