If you have the opportunity with the game on the line to put a pitcher, you think pitchers out here take a BP anymore?

The DH has been universal for quite some time.

You have Mark Kotze out there ready to put a pitcher to the plate because that's his only option.

You go see what you can do against that guy rather than getting a professional hitter, a guy who gets paid to hit baseballs, a chance to win the game.

It's easily Will Venable.

I would love to play Will Venable in Connect 4 because I think I'd just be a few moves ahead of him.

And I'm also pretty good at connect four.

But here's what I'll say to that.

You could also just get him to ground into a double play.

He's a pitcher.

If he makes contact, it's probably going to be weak contact.

Pretty sneaky, sis.

Number four.

I like pretty sneaky, sis.

That was the connect four.

I got to be honest, Mark.

I'm relieved.

Because you see the capital that went away, and you start thinking about, well, if they're giving up the 10th overall pick in the draft, what would the Bears have had to give up?

And then you've got to pay him on the back end and extend that contract.

You saw the $28 million he got in the one-year extension.
