Well, that's the situation him and the Cubs find themselves in.

So for all parties involved, you want to make the best of the situation—

hit against left-handed pitching, be willing to play all these positions, which he seems like he is, and thrive at them, right?

Like, if I had to say at the end of the season, how many at-bats does Matt Shaw have, what would you guys say?

I was going to say between 300 and 400.

So I'll split the difference and say 350.

The only reason I just don't know how many... Because we listed off all the guys that play every day.

So I just don't know, in my mind, where the at-bats are.

And so it's, okay, there's going to be some tough left-handed at-bats for Michael Bush.

Even though I think Michael Bush might get more opportunities.

There are going to be some matchups where...

It's beneficial for Michael Bush to be in the lineup.

There's also going to be someone who's like, hey, man, Chris Hale on the mound tonight.

Don't even worry about it.

We're going to put Shaw in there.

Enjoy your day off.

I think those situations will arise.

I think there are going to be some situations where tough left-hander out of the bullpen comes in and you say, all right, let's go to Shaw late.

Because of the Austin injury, I think you need him on the roster right now.

Now, that changes if different things happen.
