After marathon game, how will Cubs respond in Yu Darvish's debut?

NBC Sports Chicago has all the coverage of Saturday's game for Darvish's debut, beginning with Cubs Pregame Live at 5:30 p.m.

MIAMI - After playing nearly two full games that spanned more than five hours, how will the Cubs respond Saturday night?

That's the question of the hour as the Cubs and Marlins get set for the third game of the 2018 season in Yu Darvish's Cubs debut.

Without the typical off-day between the season opener and the second game and having to cover 17 innings of baseball, the Cubs bullpen will be very short-handed Saturday evening and they'll need a strong start out of Darvish.

Brandon Morrow only faced one batter Friday night, but he got up and down so much to warm up that Joe Maddon already declared the new Cubs closer out for Saturday.

Joining Morrow on the shelf will be Eddie Butler (who covered 7 innings Friday night), Mike Montgomery and Justin Wilson (both of whom worked back-to-back games) and Carl Edwards Jr. (who needed 29 pitches to get through his inning of work Friday).

How will the rest of the team respond after scoring just one run in 17 innings of action last night? We broke it all down on Facebook Live a few hours before first pitch:
