Wade LeBlanc and the Miami Marlins will look to erase the disappointing loss from last night's game versus the Chicago Cubs and hopefully pick up a win for the Fish.

Notes

- I'll likely be here for just the start of the game, through about the fourth inning. Keep the thread warm without me in the latter stages, and let's help get the Fish this win!
