It's a better move anyway. Sveum's just doing God's work and trying to help the Pirates win the division. Swept by the Pirates, sweep the Cards, everyone goes home happy. I guess we might as well let Gregg learn why he isn't coming back next year anyway.
On the year, Valbuena on a 3-1 count has a 1.259 OPS Don't ever let facts stand in your way, though. It was nothing specific to him as a player, just the team in general. Gregg coming in here over Strop is laughable.
1. I always thought "striking out the side" required a 1-2-3 inning 2. It's gonna suck to lose Navarro to a team that will make him a starter. He's been the Cubs most consistent hitter this season without a doubt.
None of this means anything. OK. Thanks for your opinion. In my opinion, the Cardinals are going to win the division and the Reds will beat the Pirates in a low scoring WC game.
