Marlins (Bellozo) vs Cubs (Brown): 5/13/25, 6:40pm

I turned the game off in the 8th. Justin Turner walkoff lol.  I won't talk horsefeathers about him again 

[Soul]

Yep, I turned it off after the 8th.

I darn near did as well, I was pretty disgusted with the lack of hitting.  Glad I stuck it out, happy for Turner.  There is not Cub I want to see struggle and I will always rather be wrong in my opinion if it means any Cub player does well.  He was the last player I wanted to see at the plate there and he proved me wrong, and I was happy to be proven so.

I learned a cool feature with Marquee's app. I paused the game after the first pitch because I had a damn HOA meeting to attend, I didn't want to leave my tv on with the screen frozen, so I turned it off. When I turned it back on, it was still in the pause mode, so I didn't miss a single pitch. What I do hate is their fast forward only moves a few frames at a time.

Busch was working out at 3B before yesterday’s game

Nice surprise to wake up to this morning.

There’s not different fast forward speeds, just one?

[We Got The Whole 9]

I honestly thought the 8th was the 9th. I was busy putting the kids down and thought that was it lmao. I was like holy horsefeathers they completely folded, those ABs were awful. Then my dad blew me up and I swear I thought he was texting about a dream he had at first when he said Turner walked it off.

There isn't really a fast forward. There is a frame skip, which skips about 20-45 seconds per frame. I have to push the fast forward button about 5 or 6 times to get to the next inning. Weird. I will say this is on an Amazon Fire Stick. Haven't tried it on one of my smart tv's that actually has the Marquee app.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Yes, the Marquee app sucks for going forward or back.

[BKHoo]

Counsel’s moves were pretty brilliant post Merryweather last night.  

[We Got The Whole 9]

In 16 IP Merryweather has 13:10 KBB. He looked like a solid asset after 2023 but the last 30 innings have been horrible and very much like they did in his BJ days. Sucks.

[CubinNY]

First game and all but, Big Mo will have to learn to be more selective at the plate. He's got such great bat-to-ball skills that he can hit anything, they will exploit that.

I remember Hosmer having similar surprising RISP numbers early in 2023.  Hey, I'm pulling for Turner to be solid contributor for us - the guys seem to love him so I hope he can build on this and be the player we need him to be.  Nothing would make me happier.

Yeah I mean, honestly I was mostly trying to stir the pot last night with that. He's been bad, the 14% walk rate is pretty much the only thing one can point to as evidence he's still giving competitive ABs. Big picture, it's May 14th, we're not even 20% into a year and talking about a part time player. The sample sizes are just very small.

I agree with your basic point. But we are actually more than 25% done with the regular season.

That's unpossible. Infathomable. Inconscionable
