I’m going to start the recap of the Cubs’ frustrating 6-5 loss to the Marlins Monday evening near the end of this game.
Situation: The Marlins have already taken a 5-4 lead after Pedro Strop melted down in a fusillade of walks and had to be replaced by Kyle Ryan. Runners are on second and third and there’s one out. Ryan got Martin Prado to hit a comebacker. Ryan stopped, looked directly at Neil Walker, who was hung out to dry between third and home — and threw to first.
