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

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that is a tremendous bunt from Amaya under the circumstances

[Derwood]

I still hate bunts, but hopefully this works out

[UMFan83]

I don’t like that bunt. Amaya is hitting the ball so well and Canario is an over eager rookie trying to make something happen

but he did get it down well

[Tryptamine]

Why would you bunt with a guy who has severe contact issues up next?

[Andy]

And with strikeout prone Canario up to boot

[PeanutPunch33]

come on kid

[soccer10k]

Come on walk this off please.

[UMFan83]

Why hasn’t Counsel PH anyone today? I don’t like Canario batting here

[WhyCantWeWin]

Terrible job by Canario

He's also slow and GB prone so far this year, plus you then have 2 shots at only needing a single to win

[Tryptamine]

and of course, contact issues guy can't make contact.

[abuck1220]

cannot horsefeathers believe he let Canario hit there

[UMFan83]

And the guy who strikes out 30+% of the time strikes out. Who’d a thunk it?

Happ is hurt, so your options are lefties(Bellinger, Busch) against Scott or Gomes.  Giving guys a full game without playing in a DH probably is part of it too.

[Crusader]

Dude had a guy on 3rd and 2nd and he’s swinging out of his shoes… just horsefeathers put the ball in play.

[UMFan83]

This is now the 9th game the Cubs have lost while leading in the 8th inning over their last 48 games

(yes I’m going to keep doing this until the Cubs stop losing games they are leading in the 8th inning or later)

[Tryptamine]

That was a horrible game in just about every aspect.

[Andy]

That was a pretty terrible job by the $8M man in the dugout.

[abuck1220]

pretty ****** job from the guy that is supposed to specialize in winning one run games.

I wasn’t aware Happ was hurt. 
 

I don’t care about the DH crap, the game is there to win

[ToolDRT]

Unacceptable loss. The marlins are awful. Alzolay needs to not close for a little bit.

Yep, it was absolutely the old "I promised you the whole game off" thing, which I can not horsefeathers stand

[PeanutPunch33]

horsefeathers gross 

[Illiterate Scholar]

If you're gonna bunt (which I don't necessarily mind in that spot), Cody has to PH there for contact. left on left be damned

[gflore34]

I didn't expect them to sweep the Marlins, 3 of 4 is still a real possibility nevertheless, I hate them losing to a really bad baseball team.
