If Barerro makes an out , you have Noot coming to bat with Victor on 2nd .. a single scores Scott 95% of the time.

It didn't come to fruition with Noot's fly ball out but it would have looked stupid to me to have Noot getting a base hit and Scott doesn't score a run for the Cards. It was time to play aggressive and add more insurance.

I'm the last guy to defend Oli but perhaps Scott just couldn't get a read or didn't feel "right". Never know when a guy who plays everyday is nursing something.

Barrero is a better bench player and offers value at more positions defensively --- Saggese may still be part of the future so if you bring him up he needs to play more often than Barrero has.

Saggese could:

-Play 3rdB one game a week to spell NADO, one game a week at SS to spell Winn, one game a week at 2B and another at DH.

They could've easily found PA's for him.

Technically I was not right. Yet
