The Chicago Cubs and the ‘Most Valuable Player.’ The Wild Card doesn’t have one–but I thought I’d give it a go. So what makes an MVP? Is it eight innings of shutout baseball? Or is it 4-for-4 with a home run and four knocked in? Well, it’s all of those. But it’s the ‘little things’ that matter most.
It’s getting a ‘quality start’ from the starters and hand it over to the bullpen. Or going hitless, but it’s getting a sacrifice fly to win the game. It doesn’t matter what you do; it’s the small things that matter.
