Morrison batting third
Looking to shake things up with the lineup, Logan Morrison was moved into the third spot for Florida on Sunday against the Cubs.
Morrison is riding a Marlins’ rookie record of reaching base, which stands at 37 heading into Sunday. The Marlins have lost five straight.
Hanley Ramirez is missing his third straight game due to left elbow inflammation.

The Fish Pond
Easy deduction here.
Cubs feel sorry for the Fish and want to give them half a chance to win the rubber game. However, with Miller pitching, Cubs could just have easily sent the team to the next city and stacked the lineup with some of the fans showing up for BP.
