After last night’s episode of Matty Meltdown, I put the question out to the universe — or at least our Twitter followers.
Everyone: suggest a better alternative line of employment for Matt Shoemaker. Best answers featured in a post

As expected, the universe (or at least you wonderful Twitter weirdos) did not disappoint.
Several of you suggest he should take his name more literally.
Cobbler feels a bit obvious, but still.

I guess its a good thing his name isn’t “Matt Badpitcher” or we’d never be rid of him.
Others suggested roles where his current talents might be put to better use.

Little league coach where all he has to do is put it on the tee. Seems to be pretty good at that

Still others didn’t even trust him that close to bases and/or balls, and suggested he go another direction entirely.

Uber driver. Have Dobnak show him the ropes.

One of you, however, made a joke that went “wide left” of the mark.
Kicker for the Vikings

A couple of you creative souls, best of all, found ways he could still help his teammates out.
Trade him to the whitesox so we can gain some ground in the division.

Who among us wouldn’t be Willians Astudillo, if given the choice? If you can be Willians Astudillo, you be Willians Astudillo.
What else could Shoemaker be doing for a living?
