Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Number one.
Chapter 2: What were Matthew Boyd's standout performance metrics in the Cubs' win over the Angels?
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. 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: How do Leila and Marshall rate Matthew Boyd's performance on the Dad Who Stepped Up scale?
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.

Chapter 4: What mechanical adjustments did Matthew Boyd make to improve his game?
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.

Chapter 5: What implications does Boyd's performance have for the Cubs' pitching staff?
It's not more realistic. It's the same. It's the backup plan. The backup to the backup.
And if an entity is willing to give you billions of dollars to build your stadium... I'd imagine you'd be a little more effusive. I've said that word twice today.
I like effusive. It's a nice word.
Chapter 6: How did the Cubs' series against the Angels unfold overall?
I feel like you'd be, somebody needs to convey excitement here. And that, I understand the diplomacy of the answer from George, but I also think you still own Arlington Heights. You still own that plot of land where Arlington Park was.
Until something is done with that or until there's a defined location in Illinois or in Indiana, rather in Hammond, this still doesn't have the legs that it needs to.
I think he's got enough legs to make Illinois act if they want to keep the Bears in Illinois.
But I do want people to understand, you will get used to the Bears playing in Indiana. Oh, absolutely. It will change. And for some people, it will be too much of a change, and that's understandable. But... Do I think they're going to have a problem selling at the stadium? No.
Wait, wait, wait. When you say too much of a change, is that too much of a change to go to the games or just too much of a change to even remain Bears fans? Because I think the latter is definitely not true.
No, I think there's just people who won't want to keep their season tickets.
Oh, yeah. That's fine. And guess what? There'll be plenty of people ready to pick up those season tickets.
And we've had people who told us they didn't want to be Bears fans anymore if they do move to Indiana. And that's well within your prerogative as well. But I... Somebody's got to be excited about the idea of a state willing to give you billions of dollars to build a stadium.
To those fans you're talking about that say they won't be Bears fans anymore, I hear you. I just don't believe you. I think there will be a very small percentage of Bears fans that actually give up their Bears fandom because the stadium moved to Indiana.

Chapter 7: What are the potential impacts of the Bears moving to Indiana?
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?
Trae Young. Anthony Davis. Allegedly going to be healthy next season. Allegedly.
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.
