What five topics are on the hosts' minds today?
It's time for Five On It. Raheem Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. I got five on it.
Number one. Who was the MVP of the Cubs series win over the Brewers?
How in the world could I sit here in this chair on Rahimi Harris and Grody today during this segment five on it and not choose Jordan Wicks to be my series MVP? If we are to agree that that was the most important baseball game the Cubs have played in this year, Because they win two out of three from Milwaukee and get that division deficit down to five and a half games. Then Jordan Wicks was the one to restore order. I mean, the Brewers 10th, Christian Yelich with the, the RBI double off of your guy, Ethan. I'm kidding. Ethan Roberts.
Who was the MVP of the Cubs series win over the Brewers?
I claim him. Don't worry. That makes it four, two Cubs at the time. Brewers then load the bases. Nobody out enters my guy.
What was your actual thought when he was walking out of the bullpen?
My actual thought was, oh, wow, it's gotten to this. But it had already gotten to that. It had already gotten to that in his previous two appearances where like, all right, we have no choice but to bust out Jordan Wicks. And that's the same thing that happened to the.
But that was at the beginning of games. So you have runway where, hey, they could come back. This was just like, hey, guess what? If you don't get these three outs without giving up two runs, the game continues. If you give up three runs, the game's over.
Ask me what I was thinking when he walked Garrett Mitchell with the bases loaded. What were you thinking then, Gertie? Oh, no. Here we go again for Jordan Wicks. Now I'm going to have to complain about Jordan Wicks some more. And then... He gets a nice little pop out and induces Gary Sanchez into a 5-4-3 double play. And the ball game is over.
Tell me you weren't thinking Gary Sanchez is going to book in this game because he had the home run early to make it a 1-0 game.
I certainly didn't feel good about it. Certainly didn't feel good about the sitch. But that'll earn me. And congratulations to Jordan Wicks. You have earned my Cubs Series MVP. What have ye? Who have ye?
How will you handle this question? So my MVP for this series was David Peterson. Oh, wow. Whoa. And here's why it's David Peterson. I thought he'd say Seiya. That's why I said. Well, no, no. I thought about Seiya because obviously he homers in two consecutive games. They win one of those games. And then he has the only hit of consequence. They had four hits in the game, Mark. They had four hits in yesterday's game.
If I wasn't doing my little Wicks gimmick, I would have said Seiya Suzuki. But please, go on. I'm David Peterson.
But I think the Peterson thing is more important because it gave them even the opportunity to win the series. Because as I said before, to me, David Peterson's start... for the Cubs against the Brewers was the most important start that a starter has made for the Cubs this year because, one, in a time of desperation, and let's be very clear, the Cubs are desperate when it comes to pitching in general, but starters specifically. He gave you five and two-thirds innings. His longest outing In over 21 appearances, he'd gone 21 appearances and not gone that deep into a game because he's no longer on the Mets. He's now on the Cubs. And it's not just about that game and this series. It's about what he can give you going forward.
If he can go five plus innings for the next, you know, however many starts until they get more help. in the rotation through the trade deadline or picking somebody else off the old scrap heap then that's going to be valuable so i thought what he represented in that start he got a win in his cubs debut even though the first pitch he threw was the jack centurio bomb to straightaway center he settled in he endured and he got the win that to me shows a path Not that it's a definite thing, but a path not only to a playoff appearance, but maybe even a division title. It's not out of the question yet. It's not out of the question yet. If what he did on Saturday is going to be who he is as a Cub,
