YANKED: Miami Marlins’ Eury Perez Pulled Early— Should Clayton McCullough Have Let Him FINISH?

Miami Marlins squander history as Eury Perez exits after seven perfect innings, sparking fierce debate among fans—did Clayton McCullough make the right call? With the bullpen faltering and Lake Bachar surrendering five runs, Miami escaped with a razor-thin 9-8 victory, exposing questions about the team’s late-inning reliability and Pete Fairbanks’ future as closer.

Ethan Eibe and Jamie Goldman celebrate All-Star selections for Otto Lopez and Max Meyer, spotlighting Lopez’s league-leading batting average and Meyer’s breakthrough on the mound. The conversation explores Sandy Alcantara’s dominance, a home run explosion in Sacramento by Heriberto Hernandez and Kyle Stowers, and whether the Marlins should pursue a trade for Aroldis Chapman. Can Miami’s red-hot offense and emerging stars push them to a playoff run, or will bullpen issues hold them back as they face the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Guardians?
