What are the latest updates on the Cubs' performance?
Number one. Matthew Boyd struck out 10 over 5-2 third.
Two hit innings during the Cubs' 6-2 win over the Angels on Wednesday. On a scale of 1-10, on the newly created Dad Who Stepped Up scale, where do you rate last night's performance by Matthew Boyd?
Well, you know what a dad who steps up would tell you? Fall down seven times, get up eight.
How did Matthew Boyd perform against the Angels?
So I think that Matthew Boyd gets a 10 on the dad who stepped up scale because he went out there and opening day was not ideal by any means and he knew he needed to fix himself mechanically and he did to the tune of 10 strikeouts. Now, I also think the guy just throws strikes. So some teams are going to hit them because the best pitch to hit is a strike. But in this case, they only got two hits because it's the Angels partially. And he was able to go out there and get the job done and get it right. Two walks, 10 strikeouts, which was incredible. One earned run. And yeah, somebody on our text line said this and I agree with it. You could almost argue that that run wasn't earned as well, depending because of how it was fielded by Dansby Swanson.
So sure. Dad who stepped up 10 out of 10 fixes his mistake. Fall down seven, get up eight, got back out there and had a great performance.
I don't understand the fall down seven, get up eight.
What does the Dad Who Stepped Up scale mean for player evaluations?
Shouldn't it be fall down seven, get up seven?
Yeah, because it's equal amount of times that you fall down. Because you didn't start down.
Yeah.
You didn't fall to get there.
They told me you fell down and then you got up. If you do that as many times and now you're back up.
I stopped fighting that one and just went with it.
Okay. Okay. Well, look, on this dad who stepped up scale, I'm going to give you a nine. A solid nine out of ten. Because... He did give up hits. He did give up the earned run, but you know what? It's okay. Cause he had him swinging and missing 10 strikeouts and all those strikeouts. None of them were looking. It was people understanding this guy throws strikes. I better swing. But then when you swing and you miss, well, you end up sitting down. And so now he's got 17 strikeouts over his first two starts. He's looking really good. And I think it's a good omen for the Cubs starters as a whole because that they gave up just one earned run in their series against an Angels team that had been relatively hot in splitting their first two games of the season before coming to Chicago.
Now we get to see... If Kate Horton can continue the trend in Cleveland on Friday, a.k.a. tomorrow. Believeland. Believeland.
The Angels have you on Mankata, you know.
He went deep.
He did. You like how I just texted the group thread just the name Mankata for one of my texts?
I didn't like that. I was like, thanks for reminding me.
Mankata.
White Sox fan of what's going on out here.
They have everybody. It's a very interesting lineup. We mentioned Jorge Soler.
They don't have Tim Anderson anymore.
No.
I will say this, Marshall. Do you remember last time we were at Circa Resort and Casino at the Sportsbook and we were watching the Cubs and the Angels and we saw Yohan Moncada hit a home run? Yes. From the Circa Sportsbook. By the way, next Friday and Saturday, April 10th and 11th, We're going to be broadcasting live from Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Friday from 10 to 1245. Then Saturday, 11 to 1245. Get you ready for Cubs baseball. Circa has special food and beverage deals for the golf tournament. With every angle of the tournament being shown at Stadium Swim, we're going to be watching it all from the cabana. It's going to be a beautiful thing. You should come out and hang out with us at Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, home of the world's largest sportsbook.
I'm really excited to get into some warm weather, guys. I don't know about you.
Well, I'm excited to be able to walk. I feel like this is very much Return of the Mack vibes on my return to Circa. It really is. Fully healthy, ready to go. I have hit rock bottom. My legs betrayed me, but here I am back again. Return of the Mack. Play that Mark Morrison. Yeah. Anyway.
You know what the best part about that song is, too?
