Manager’s Viewpoint
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough spoke about the team’s resilience. “He talks about his tenacity and his willingness to endure and trust in that process of assembling a plan in each turn to bat. Just endure and keep fighting.”
“I think that much of what happened today was prepared from the previous days, such as our ability to resist and take many shifts to the high quality bat, especially in a series of four games, where you are now seeing some relieved for the third time. Not only the additional look at them, but also the wear innings.”
