Yeah.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Russ Dorsey talks Cubs: Matt Shaw's role, Matt Boyd getting Opening Day nod

I think that's, that's the one you could say, okay, that makes a lot of sense based off of, you know, what he was able to do last year, probably how stretched out he is right now.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Um,

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Yeah, that makes sense.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I think the thing when it comes to the Cubs that I'm curious to find out is with the Tyler Austin injury, like that was a guy that was supposed to come over, hit against left-handed pitching and be that force off the bench for you.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And with him not in there, does this...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Allow Matt Shaw to play a bigger role than maybe he would have played had Austin not gotten hurt.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And so I think you saw the lineup with, you know, Matt Shaw playing a little bit of first base yesterday and like him getting work there and increasing his versatility is only going to help him and help the Cubs because look.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

If you have a guy that can play a million positions, it's really valuable.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So I think for Matt Shaw, him being able to be versatile defensively, but also be able to be a guy that's strong against left-handed pitching, that's how you find ways to get guys in the lineup, right?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

What can you do?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Russ Dorsey talks Cubs: Matt Shaw's role, Matt Boyd getting Opening Day nod

You're a right-handed hitter, and you can bang against left-handed pitching, there's going to be a spot for you on the roster.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Right.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Everything we've seen is that they are going to give him opportunities, too.
