I remember when their bullpen was actually good in 2014 then neil ramirez died and hector rondon's quality diminished while with the cubs and grimm ended up sucking

>Bryant getting plunked twice on the basepaths
leave Kris alone!
Daniel Evans
>Bryant gets on base by a HBP >Bryant then gets hit by a ball thrown to try and tag him out at 2nd >Then he gets hits by the ball when he goes to third As least he didn't get hit in the head.
>People yelling 'Yuuuuuu!' >It can sound like 'Boooo!'
William Lopez
Even with only 3 runs it was still a solid inning of work. Both Zobrist and Rizzo hit it to the warning track, and Darvish managed to work an 7 pitch at bat with no balls. Hopefully Richards doesn't recover and Darvish doesn't collapse again.
I still miss castro looking at the grass during a play :(
Anthony Cooper
oh look the marlins are losing already
lol cubs why would you give so much money to a dude who cant win in the postseason
Thomas Cox
I couldn't even recognize him with that hair.
Sebastian Taylor
al-Mora will get a Gold Glove one day
so basically Conteras sucks at framing (and hes not going anywhere soon) and Cubes pitchers get information overload from the stats department. the latter sounds like it can be fixed get some nerds to break down the data in away that wont lead to fucked mechanics or approaches (a lot of that is the coaches' responsibility too)

>merlins
Jackson Torres
>They got rid of the home run sculpture. It was so bad, it was good.
>They changed their colors again They should just go back to being the Florida Marlins, bums.
Considering it was yelich you lost, and brinson's awful year last year, it'll go down as opsided. >Wei-Yin Chen that's like a chatwood type contract lel
Yelich hated it here and everyone knew that. They were only going to get so much back from him. Who would have guess he would have exploded for that year?
not to rub it in but the Marlins had >Stanton >Yelich >Ozuna >Realmuto
Jeremiah Reyes
Yeah dont count out >cabrera >beckett
eh at least we didnt go a century+ with a ring
Jacob Peterson
The marlins had the best outfield in the league a few years ago. Yelich was always really good at least his last few years with the marlins, only thing was the power numbers weren't there yet. I feel like they lowballed you guys on everyone except Realmuto.
Wyatt Martin
Sounds like Yelich was only shitty because he was in a meme pitcher park and does better in a meme batter park.
Gabriel Rogers
And and a health dose of Wisconsin steroids
Sebastian Lee
>eh at least we didnt go a century+ with a ring and still had less empty seats
FUCK YOU THEO..TRADE RIZZO AND BRYANT FOR PITCHING
Leo Ortiz
>Marlins tried to sabotage the Cubs and it still didn't work. >The shithole of Florida Climate change can't cause your dumpster fire of a state to be swallowed by the Atlantic soon enough.
Asher Gray
you're a faggot
Sebastian Young
how about trading Russell for pitching?
Landon Wilson
We need Russell for his defense. Plus i'm sure Theo already tried to trade him in the off season
Eli Long
what makes you so sure
Lincoln Ortiz
HEY! Darvish gets through the 5th and he's in line for the win now
that's two jams he's gotten out of this game. improvement.
Hunter Robinson
Russel's is a great defensive player and would have been a good trading chip for prospects or pitching. Plus you have the overflow of infield players already even though the Cubs are better with Russell at SS and Baez at 2B. Also Theo is extremely loyal to players he grows, it's why he refused to trade Schwarber and is giving a lot of leeway to Bote
Henry Nelson
that was a sort of autistic at-bat from (Yu)
Jose Watson
>That shot of Heyward and Baez giving Darvish shit in the dugout At least we know they're still playing it loose.
it's also in the Cubs best interest for Russell's stock to be high - that was not the case this past offseason (coming off another mediocre year at the plate, plus his suspension/off-field issues being in the news)
Lucas Morgan
Well that didn't stop Dinosaur Man from throwing at someone in Spring Training.
yes I am that guy but man baseball games are too fucking long. come on its been like two and three quarter hours and we still a third of the game left.
Cease posting this slanderous image to jinx Cishek
Blake Walker
I remember going to a game in 2013 at wrigley with Arrieta pitching against someone from the marlins and cishek came in and the fans nearby started heckling him
Joseph Davis
what's wrong with it? it's just a regular portrait photo.
Caleb Morales
tiny man inc
Leo Morales
His eyes are clearly shopped to be cross eyed. Apologize!
Landon Diaz
where are the proofs? show me the evidence
Elijah Adams
>not doing something in conjunction with the game being on
Im getting a lot of reading done
Isaiah Perry
>Contreras HR to center(420ft) DUDE
Justin Cook
I was for a little while reading about the Notre Dame fire. But I have to focus on watching videos.
Although I must say it is kinda weird me still paying attention to all these marlins games, for the first time in like a decade, even though this team is going to be on par with the '98 marlins in shittyness
