The score. I got five.
It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. I got five on it. Number one.
This is Five On It, and it's brought to you by AlmostFreeTeeth.com. Save on dental implants today. In one word, how would you describe the Cubs' walk-off walk, or as Layla likes to call it, shrimp, win over the Rockies in game one? Seriously? That's my word. Seriously? With a question mark? You won that game? You won the game that you were down in 4-2 in the eighth inning? You went seriously? That's your ninth walk-off win this year. Seriously?
How would you describe the Cubs' walk-off win over the Rockies?
It's your second walk-off walk-off? the year as Matt Shaw turns the trick right there Michael Bush did it earlier this year against the Reds seriously you left another 15 men on base left seriously PCA hit for the cycle seriously Phil Maton Does it again. Walks in a guy with the bases loaded. Seriously? Cole Kerrig with a three-run homer? Seriously? That's my word. How'd I do? You did pretty good. I felt like I was going to be dramatic there.
I thought you did a good job. I let you shine. Seriously? Yeah, seriously is good.
I mean, really. Pedro Ramirez, a game-tying hit in the ninth inning. They come through with runners in scoring position with the bases loaded. Seriously? Hmm. 15 left out. One for 10 with runners in scoring position.
What does the Cubs' ninth walk-off win this year signify?
Seriously?
My word is very simple. Think Miracle on Ice. Again. Do it again. Again. Again. Again. Again. That's pretty good. 21 wins. That's how many they have at home, the Cubs. Nine by walk-off. To lead baseball. Seriously. 43% of their wins have come by walk-off at Wrigley Field this season. So, when it happened, I wasn't really surprised. I was like, this is just who they are. They're a team that can't do enough against the team with the worst record in baseball to salt away a game in which they leave 15 runners on base. It takes them until the ninth inning to finally get... A hit with runners in scoring position. Pedro Ramirez. Again. Again. And how many more times will we say again before the season is over? I fear it will be many times that they need this type of, to use your word, theatrics and heroics.
Seriously is my word. As Matt Shaw, who should have been in the lineup a long time ago. I'm going to be very honest. When he came off the injured list, why was he not playing?
Big RBI triple last night. Obviously, having patience at the plate was a big move, too, for Matt Shaw.
I've been asked who can hit in the two hole. Matt Shaw can hit in the two hole.
I'd do that for a night.
Matt Shaw, because if he gets on base, he has speed at the top of the lineup. Give it a whirl. There's plenty of people besides Alex Bregman, and I know I'm going way off topic here, plenty of people besides Alex Bregman that can hit in the two hole.
I like again, too, because June 4th, The day that you remember, Cubs fans. The Cubs come back from five down against the A's, win the game, PCA walk-off single, and then the very next day they lose 18-3 to the San Francisco. That's why you're not hearing any of us talking about an inspirational win and why you're saying again. It's just something that they've been known to do. It's absolutely perfect. A couple good words. Pico Armstrong became just the 13th player in Cubs history to hit for this cycle. Are you having optimism that PCA could be back? Oh, let's be clear.
PCA is doing what he is being paid to do, which is produce. He's the best player on the Cubs. He's one of the best players in baseball. The war tells the story here. And again, I think the biggest sign that PCA is not only back, but this is who he is. Not maybe this hot, not batting 463 in the, excuse me, 436 in the month of June hot. But he's a guy who I think is going to look much more like the player who is currently batting .277 with a .351 on base and a .493 slug after a 4-for-4 day in which he also had a sacrifice fly, becoming, as you said, the 13th player to hit for the cycle. The biggest tell on this PCA being different from last year's PCA? Last year's PCA against lefties hit .188.
