Maybe I have too much faith in humanity. I'm a bit of an optimist. But I just have this feeling that this is probably going to get fixed.

And if I'm wrong it completely wouldn't surprise me.

There are some very real safety issues here. We're probably going to have to start a pitcher in the OF. And our third catcher is probably going to have to start at third base. So if Powell who just came off of concussion protocol gets hurt then you're going to have to put a pitcher at third base probably. Heck if anybody gets hurt you're probably looking at starting a pitcher somewhere else.

Another thing that is wrong here no matter how you feel about Lemonis if we end up at 13-17 and don't make a regional because we lost a game where we're starting pitchers in two spots of the lineup- that could cost him his job.
