Cubs (Horton) vs Marlins (Meyer): 5/21/25, 12:10pm

[UMFan83]

3 outs to go but Cubs killer Derek Hill is due up 4th in the 9th

[UMFan83]

Wow that's close, damn

[BKHoo]

Do we think it might be Pressley?  

3-1 would be much better than 2-1.

[squally1313]

Alright, get him in

[BKHoo]

Dansby?

[Derwood]

Wavin' Wendell would be proud of that send

[squally1313]

lol. I'm almost always Team Send. But...lol. 

[Chicago Al]

Dumb send with Shaw up next.

[UMFan83]

I know it was 2 outs but that was an awful send.  I actually turned my head away from my phone once I saw how hard it was hit assuming it was 1st and 3rd with 2 outs.

Hopefully the extra inch that would have made Busch's double a HR won't matter...

With the OF in that was a brutal send.

[chibears55]

I mean, they were playing that far in for a reason,  didn't he see that ?

[JHBulls]

“Man Kyle Stowers”. No Andy, it was a horsefeathers send and Busch was out by 5 metres. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

2 out sends are almost always a good idea, but that one is why you use the word almost

[squally1313]

Kinda like this Palencia decision from Counsell

(I reserve the right to hate this decision)

[Jason Ross]

I love the Palencia choice here. Vote of confidence. 

Make it worthwhile. 

[UMFan83]

Granted I'm watching on my phone so its small but I thought that was gone off the bat.

[KCCub]

I as well thought Norby hit that a lot better than he did.

Anytime someone turns on that much velocity at a reasonable launch angle I just assume it's gone.

Second one also looked scary off the bat

10 games over .500, boys...

[Outshined_One]

Palencia is like if Joe Borowski could hit triple digits.

A win is a win, so *shrug*.

Series W! 

[UMFan83]

4-2 against the Marlins is acceptable.  We stole one from them and they stole one from us.
