So... Not DL'ing Hector looks like a real solid idea right now.

You're right, it'll be handy to have him available the rest of the weekend with the other relievers being used tonight.

Your posts are a never ending flow of stupidity.

We are up 12 games and while I get it's the cardinals I don't really have many emotions watching this. It's like glorified spring training. I don't understand getting sooo angry

 

It's not about tonight, it's about getting Heyward fixed so he's usable in the playoffs. As things stand right now, I don't know that I'd even let him play. As good as his defense is, it doesn't overcome a .600OPS out of a corner outfield spot.

 

He's at .627 for the year and he's on pace for 2 WAR, so it is overcoming it to a certain extent (obviously not what we expected).

 

I'd love to get him 'fixed' too, but I don't get why telling him to not swing a bat for a week helps that. If a young guy is struggling to adjust, they send him back to the minors to get regular at bats. The rest of our regular season games have about as much importance as minor league games. Let him keep struggling through it. He's been lost for 4 months now and we're 30 over.
