5/7/23 Marlins (Alcantara) vs Cubs (Wesneski): 1:20pm Marquee

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Can’t believe Alcantara has his 2nd outing of 0 runs after giving up multiple runs in every other outing.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Man, Hosmer got all of that one.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Fulmer since the last Dodger outing: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 5/1 K/BB, 72% GB%

[Transmogrified Tiger]

there's the reason Amaya bunted

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Here's another fun one, Merryweather since his first outing against Milwaukee: 12 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 14/1 K/BB, 2 HR

[UMFan83]

Ugh. Offense is due to for really good game at some point right?  4 and 5 runs isn’t terrible at all but they haven’t scored more than 6 runs in a game since they were in LA. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

wow that is an incredibly dumb throw to the plate, maybe your internal clock doesn't expect Bellinger to be going for 3 but you have to know that Happ doesn't matter.

[UMFan83]

Hosmer ties the game lol

[Transmogrified Tiger]

And now Hosmer gets to slap through a drawn in infield, Miami position players really doing their best to give away the series.

Will be interesting to see if they let Mervis face Puk or go to the bench with Mancini and Wisdom there.

 

[CubinNY]

Schumacher pulled a Ross and left his starter in too long. 

[javy knows my name]

At least Ross would never do that lol. That decision was astounding 

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Woke up from my nap just in time to see the ninth inning. That was fun! Come on, Cubs!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

wow they're gonna let Mervis do it, they're clearly giving him the job to pass or fail

Seriously, promising for the long term but a bit head scratching for this ab

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Mervis is the most generic NPC-looking dude ever. He looks like the guy you'd get in a 2000s video game to take a scab player's spot.

[soccer10k]

Mervis takes two fastballs right down the middle. Not great.

We traded for Jon Dowd

[muntjack]

Biggest Mervis stan around but that was pretty bad.  Two fastballs down the middle.

Feels like he got a bit guess-happy so he wouldn't chase the slider and he missed two chances to rip a walk off single

[Andy]

Did Mancini already bat? Why didn't he hit for Mervis?

Awesome rally though

[UMFan83]

And one pitch and they’re losing again and about to give up a second run 

[Andy]

1 pitch and the game is all but over. That's fun

[itisallpartoftheplan]

The fact that the Wendle at bat had to start 1-0 is just dumb. Be better baseball.

[UMFan83]

Phew nice job stranding the runner on 3rd. Guess we’re not the only ones that can do that lol

[Irrelevant Dude]

That's a lot of trust in the rookie catcher, throwing the split with a runner in third.
