Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.
Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Bears potentially moving to Indiana?
The Wizards have issued a statement. We apologize for last night's April Fool's joke that left many wondering if we had misled a fan. The skit involving our mascot and other members of our performance team was scripted and intended to celebrate the day. All participants were in on the joke, but we missed the mark. Just like that shot.
Our fans are our priority, and we continue to be committed to providing a positive experience to all who attend our games. I thought it was cruel to mislead a fan. And now it all makes sense. The Wizards are 17-59. They're 11-27 right now at home. And I know next year is a new year. But is that a prize, I ask? Is it? Would it have been? Trey Young. Anthony Davis.
Allegedly going to be healthy next season. Allegedly healthy.
What do you think? So I want to know whose jersey am I getting, first of all. I need to know for the secondary market when I resell this jersey, whose jersey is autographed that I'm getting that I can make some money off of. Again, I'll do courtside seats for pretty much any game.
The Wizards knew how to tank. They lost 16 in a row.
Here's what I'm trying to understand, Layla. Are they saying that the shooter is in on it or are they saying everybody else except for the shooter was in on it? That's what I'm trying to understand. I don't have clarification.
I think they're implying that everyone, including the shooter, was in on it.
So there are no real courtside seats and an autographed jersey? I'm so confused.
You're really upset about the prizes. And I'm going, is it a prize?

Chapter 5: How does the Bears' chairman address stadium location concerns?
Danny Parkins joins us next.
I could do Stephen A's job, guys. It's not. Danny Parkins. QB1 party. All are invited. Host of Fox Sports 1's First Things First. Coming in at number six, though, the team that should be the favorites in the NFC North, though the odds makers say they're the third best team, my Chicago Bears. Why can't the Chicago Bears be the best offense in football? The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them.
Caleb Williams, no.
Former host of 670 The Score, before he abandoned us.
That's a Caleb Williams custom, baby. Jersey number one is going to the Raptors.
You guys made it seem like a Chicago Bears fan. We had our guy, Danny Parkins, all these guys. Danny Parkins on 104.3 The Score. Wait for Danny Parkins to come on our show, which he does every week. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. You can find us at twitch.tv slash thescoreschicago. Danny joins us there.
Check out Danny on the newly expanded First Things First OT from 4 to 5 on Fox Sports 1. And Danny's out here making some people money. Danny, Nico Horner gets extended. Why do I feel like you had something to do with it?
Because obviously I did. No. Proximity. Yeah, sure. You know, I was just happy for him. What a good dude. Humble. Down to earth. you know, when I texted him after it was finalized and, you know, he just was like, you know, obviously thank you. But then he was like, what an amazing place to get to play ball.
Like, I just, I think he, I think he genuinely loves it in Chicago and yes, believes in the organization's future, but also like, you know, these guys have friends around the baseball and who play on other teams. And yeah, There's no place like Wrigley. The Dodgers win more. The Yankees have as much, if not more, history, obviously. The Red Sox are in the conversation.

Chapter 6: What are the latest developments regarding the Bulls' roster decisions?
Well, and there's the whole multiple titles that Pax was a part of as well. As a player. Yeah, so that probably has something to do with it.
And Pax, underrated drafter. Pax actually was like, he had some draft hits, but he also got like 16 drafts or something crazy. I don't remember.
The trades were also not, yeah, there was some plus to the game. Yes, I would agree with that.
Sure. But he also got 1.7. When you hit on 1.7% for Derrick Rose, it masks a lot of things. They were not building a championship team if they didn't hit those lottery odds.
Yes, which we know now will not be in the Bulls' favor yet again. Well, Danny, this has been a day.
It's been fun, Danny. I enjoyed your presence here today.
Yes, your takes have been good. The topics have been malaiseful. That's not your fault.
No, listen, we should do a day where we don't do any topics and we just, you know, no topics and we just shoot the bleep and see where it goes.
Seinfeld-like. A show about nothing. I like it.
