“Oh come on! Just serve the ball already! This is like watching a pitcher!”
“What?”
“Look at her! Bouncing the ball up and down like that. It's like watching a baseball pitcher!”
“Pitching isn't easy. Both leagues will now have designated hitters for their pitchers.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Why not have designated hitters for other positions?”
“What?”
“Yeah, a designated hitter for the catcher, first baseman, short stop …”
“They change catchers all the time.”
“Like they don't change pitchers?”
“Look, pitching is a specialized art. You don't want them getting hurt while batting. Just the other day one got hit bad with a baseball.”
“So anyone can be the catcher then?”
“Well … no … ”
“So why not designated hitters for catchers?”
“Because … ”
“Well?”
“Shut up!”
