It's for defense.

It's one of the reasons.

And who made that nice catch at the warning track to end the game yesterday, Limits?

I just think those guys need to be available to pinch run, to go into the field and make a game-winning play like Cook did.

I get Cook and York hopelessly confused, Bob.

They're basically the same person.

You can't have two guys on your roster who don't play any defense, and McCutcheon didn't this weekend either.

He was the DH and a pinch hitter.

He just doesn't play the field anymore.

But you may be proven right.

Get back to me in about three months, O Limitless Wonder.

Will do.

And plus, either York or Cook's going to be gone when Connor Griffin comes up.

Or one of their many pitchers, depending on how things go.

Well, it looks like they're going to need a lot of them, Bob.

I mean, just the way baseball is these days, right?

I thought their bullpen did a hell of a job yesterday.

Five and two-thirds, three hits, no runs yesterday.

How do you like that, Bob?

They also were really bad in the opener.
