Or something like that:
"Is there some avenue, some solution, we haven't tried yet short of something drastic, which you don't try to do at this point in the season? No. There's no one ready down in Triple-A to come up and be a three-, four-, five-hole hitter, and not a lot is available on the market, and the ones that are available right now you can line up your five or six top prospects and take a run at them. We've got to live through this."
He's right, of course. Brian Bogusevic is hitting .336/.402/.527 this season, and .459/.500/.811 in May, but he's certainly not going to come and take Lee or Pence's spot in the lineup. Wade's right, and I hope Drayton's listening, we have to live through watching this.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
