I thought we were going to let Strop close for the last week of the season?

Looking at the rest of the Pirate lineup, getting through Walker-McCutchen-Morneau-Jones was more important.

I really hope it is that and not Sveum giving in to Gregg's crybaby antics but I doubt it.

Those players all threw their balls to the same few kids. That last kid they showed getting one got five. Boy nearest him got four (actually, it was his father, wearing the glove the boy brought who caught them)

 

Finally saw the Cubs win in Wrigley.

[Guest]

Um why did we try to win?

In the long run getting through that part of the lineup gives a better indication of what he can do,rather than simply being the guy who pitched the last inning.

I know there is now a 'hold" stat but MLB really should look at such things in the "save" stat scenario. Not sure why more managers don't use their "closer" against the heart of the order regardless of it being the 8th or 9th.
