Fast forward the same situation 5 innings. Why does one run later mean more than one run now? A run is a run; I'll take one in whatever inning I can get it in. Because the marlins have 5 innings to get that run back. in the 7 or 8 they have less outs. but if the Cubs didn't get the run, the Marlins would have had 5 innings to take the lead, I like 1 run lead with our pen + the conditions. True, the conditions make it more digestable. It still tastes bad but im not vomitting.
