As the Cubs enter the COVID-19 hotspot, all eyes are on team President Jed Hoyer. To Hoyer’s credit, he has not misled fans by giving any indication it will be a quick fix, pointing to the uncertainty caused by the expiring collective bargaining agreement, which could reset rules on luxury taxes and draft compensation, not to mention adopting a universal DH. There also could be a lockout, which Hoyer did not bring up.
Schwarber also flied out to right in the fifth and struck out in the seventh. He was 0-for-2 as the DH in the six spot, but his presence might’ve helped spark the bottom of the lineup. Kevin Plawecki, Duran and Dalbec each had at least two hits and Dalbec drove in three, adding a sixth-inning homer.
The details of the Marlins’ 11-run inning: single, infield single, walk, grand slam, groundout, single, single, walk, two-run double, hit by pitch, run-scoring hit by pitch, run-scoring passed ball, three-run homer, single, strikeout, fielder’s-choice groundout.

“Once they came to the bus, you kind of knew what it was, but you’re kind of hoping that’s not what it is,” Jones said. “We just had to wait it out. The guys who were out, we’re just glad to be back in the building with everyone. Five days is a lot to miss during training camp, so we were anxious to get back out here to be around the guys and just learn more.”
Personally, having visited the old minor-league ballpark in Durham, N.C., used in Costner’s greatest baseball flick, “Bull Durham,” I’d like to see a “Bull Durham Game” with clips and stories of the making of the film from Costner (Crash Davis), Tim Robbins (Nuke LaLoosh) and Susan Sarandon (Annie Savoy).
