Dode Paskert sets up to the play.

Dode Paskert.

Maybe the magic has finally subsided, and you've got to refill the tank.

You can't be out here risking life.

But no, no.

PCA hits a home run.

Ian Happ has another great game and another great day at the plate.

And then the next thing you know, shrimp walk off the wall.

Oh, man.

Also, I just want to point these things out.

There were some excellent mound visits by the Cubs, and especially early, the pitching change, Jacob Webb for Colin Ray.

The defense stepped up behind him yet again, but especially after Colin Ray leaves, and good outing by Colin Ray once again, just coming through as much as he can.

Yeah, this is in the sixth inning.

Will Benson grounds out, Jacob Webb comes on, and then Jose Trevino grounds out, and that ended the threat, which I thought was pretty good.

I can't say enough.

I should have logged it properly, but there was another mound visit that ended up, I think, resulting in a double play and just some really strong, I think, good in-game mound visits that happened because the next thing you want to do after that is throw a strike, and I feel like the Cubs were able to do that well as well.

I like it.

And he's a guest on The Score.

That is true.

So this is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.
