Maybe it's the other way around,

the Marlins don’t like losing to the Cubs.

well look at that

Howry pitched to contact, got a fly out to shallow right, and no one advanced!

Maybe Howry is so tired from last time his arm angle will allow his pitches to move

in a non-linear fashion. Maybe he can hit that low, outside corner with his fastball. Maybe we will luck out?

cmon Bobby

throw strikes, trust your defense!
