I don't think we tied anything.

Nope, we just gave ourselves more options. Gathright doesn't deserve to do anything other than occupy the late inning defensive replacement/pinch runner role that Pie had last season. If anything, I hope this pushes Pie in ST to fix his damn swing, and earn the starting role. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out...
