PHILADELPHIA — Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker knew it was only a matter of time before Edward Cabrera had his breakthrough. He’s too good for it not to happen, even after a pair of clunkers to start the 2023 season.
“[The problem is] in between his ears,” Schumaker said pregame Wednesday before Cabrera took the mound for the Marlins’ series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. “It’s him believing he can do it. It’s not a stuff problem. It’s not the in-between work. It’s not anything injury-wise. It’s him believing he can do it. I think he’s just one good start away from taking off. Hopefully, it’s today.”
At the very least, Wednesday was a good start for Cabrera compared to his first two outings of the season, a pair of games against the Mets in which he walked 13 batters over 6 2/3 combined innings.
