“It’s only a couple runs, maybe the Cubs can tie things up in the top of the nint— ope, never mind.”
Javier Assad threw a quality start today, and if the Cubs’ bats had been able to come through in just a couple of the many chances they had, or if they’d slugged just a little bit, this could’ve been a very different game by the time the bottom of the 8th arrived. But it wasn’t, and Julian Merryweather came in, continued his struggles of 2024, and the Marlins blew the thing wide open.
No sweep. Again. Not good enough. Again.
The is Assad, I suppose, all things considered. I guess you could go with Ian Happ,♔ too, since he had really the only strong offensive day.
Mostly it was just the Marlins performing like a team of guys whose names I should 🎀recognize much better than I do.
