I should be high above the Great Plains when this goes out, so this will again be abbreviated even though Southwest’s wifi is probably the most reliable I’ve experienced. It’s really more about the Cubs facing a ragtag bunch of Marlins who aren’t even attempting to play competitive baseball after trading away whoever they could at the deadline. Several other players are injured, so this has more of a spring training feel to it.
That said, it’s always possible Miami’s bats could come alive and their pitching staff suddenly turns into a bunch of aces. Until then, we’ll operate under the assumption that Kyle Hendricks can hold the Fish at bay.
