Marlins (Luzardo/Munoz) vs Cubs (Assad/Imanaga): 4/20/24, 1:20pm/6:40pm

[UMFan83]

So glad we could get Luzardo back on track. Really wish we got that extra run in earlier.

The Cubs don't attempt many stolen bases, but when they do, it is obvious why they don't attempt many stolen bases.

Yea, I get getting bench guys their ABs in but 5 at once.. lol

I just hope he's not planning on resting both Swanson and Hoerner in the second game

Crazy but am I wrong in remembering that they were much better last season in successful SB

[chibears55]

Well, theyre where you want them to be going into the 8th, they have a lead with Leiter and Alzolay ready to go.

Lets get the W

[UMFan83]

Damn I was hoping that would carry out and then Jazz made it look interesting with the leaping catch. 

[UMFan83]

Ugh. Come on Leiter, one more out

 

edit; or not. Not a big fan of bringing Adbert in with 2 outs in the 8th but what do I know?

Yea, they seriously need another late inning reliever to go with Leiter and even Merryweather when he returns,  I dont care too much for using a shaky "closer" for more then 3 outs in a 1 run game.

Good thing Adbert got away from that pesky strike throwing thing

Yeah, not a fan of that either. Didn’t think Leiter was that bad.

[CubinNY]

This more drama than my weak heart can take

[UMFan83]

Canario is going to give me a horsefeathers heart attack

[Irrelevant Dude]

Oh man, Canario.  Interesting route to the ball. 

And JD with the perfect call, "Grandpa's got the joystick again!"

[JHBulls]

Yes!

[chibears55]

Hey bats, how about adding on a couple three runs here

[CubinNY]

WYF was that first strike call on Morel?

Edited April 20, 2024 by CubinNY

[UMFan83]

Morel now 1 for his last 32…

[UMFan83]

REALLY wish we got that 3rd run in back in the 3rd

[Tryptamine]

Hopefully the Cubs actually bring their bats in game 2.

[soccer10k]

Please go 1-2-3 in the ninth. No excitement needed.

So much for that.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Arraez is a nightmare.

[UMFan83]

3 for 7 in save attempts

[Tryptamine]

Alzolay is the most ridiculously HR prone closer ever.
