What happened to Barney!? Why isn’t he in the line up!?
I think Sveum probably wanted to give him a break. Probably not a bad idea especially with the Diamondback announcers being disrespectful of him and, it seems, of all the Cubs players. I imagine they all just want to get these stupid games overwith and get back to Chicago. I have NEVER heard our announcers disrespect another team’s players and I appreciate their good sportsmanship in announcing the games. I am very sure that Barney is fine, Isabel.
Barney is fine. Sveum just decided it was a good time to give him a breather now that the streak is over.
