Imagine a world of old-style NL baseball where they would have actually sent up a lefty to pinch-hit for one of those guys. Granted, their names and contracts means it probably doesn't happen, and the Phillies also don't actually have anyone to pinch-hit.

Yea, I don't know what the purpose of our bench is, but it clearly is not to PH.
That backup 3B / 1B hitter that was always there to PH in old benches (or a backup OF) is long gone I guess. Matt Stairs in his prime might not even get a job anymore

Well, in theory Josh Harrison and Darick Hall could have done that, but they didn't. And now Cave is starting with Marsh out and they are certainly never going to PH Wilson or Castro for Schwarber or Harper
