No one likes moving on their own, anyway. Loading, unloading and you often have to transport yourself too? Pass.
Diekman has the right mindset here, and the D-backs were more than happy to lend their new pitcher a hand (with an assist from their mascot/driver, Baxter). Just another reason why the bullpen cart is the best.
