Rahimi & Grote Show · Best of the Cubs: PCA heading to All-Star Game · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

I think that is a big bulk of it is just understanding who's available and their strengths and knowing that there isn't a picture-perfect way to get through every baseball game right now, but he's still...

finding ways to put people in positions to succeed and so that's that's so impressive on that end and but i think yeah the flip side of that too is like the trust that he puts into us as position players i think through times that we haven't played well or times that we have like he he always gives us the benefit of the doubt as a group to put our best foot forward and figure things out on our own um and knowing that it has to come from the players at a

That's why we just pulled the trigger.

Rahimi & Grote Show · Best of the Cubs: Shota Imanaga is pitching like an ace · 17 Apr 2026 podcast

Yeah, I'm not sure if that's where things will be in the middle of the season, but we'll see.

I'm just going to be myself and go from there.

I'm at peace with that.

Uh, yeah.

I mean, it's a cool responsibility.

I think, you know, the first at bats, I think the only one that really feels different than the rest and kind of try to treat it the same, but it does feel a little different when you start the game.

Uh,

I think one thing that's a big part of it is just the opportunity for a fifth at bat that shows up a lot.

That's a really big difference.

So that's an exciting opportunity and just a cool responsibility in general.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

It's a vote of confidence in that way.

And,

There's not even a conversation when I'm put there or things like that, I think, which is cool just in that it's empowering me to just be myself and do that over and over again and trust that it'll work out.

um yeah i mean to be clear i don't think i've heard anyone say launch angle in a cage in probably like four or five years um i think you know i don't want to hit ground balls but there's also like high fly balls also don't really do me any good unless they're at a dead left field also so it really does come back to hard line drives um all over the field over the infield and through gaps and

Trusting that little variance here and there off of that, you're still producing.
