This hour on The Score is being brought to you by Jewel Osco. 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 Out with Rahimi Harrison-Grody, Mark Grody, Marshall Harris in the house, and we're going to kick it off with some multiple choice. What was the biggest disappointing factor from the Cubs' 5-2 loss to the Rockies last night? Was it A, Edward Cabrera leaving the game with a cramp in his hand? Was it B, Phil Maton still being allowed to pitch? C, Alex Bregman still hitting in the two-hole? Or D, Cubs going 0-8 in runners in scoring position?
Your multiple choice are all very worthy of the worst thing that happened to the Chicago Cubs last night. But I am going to go with... You got it. Five Buttes. Edward Cabrera. Because the parade of pitchers continues for the Cubs. And I don't care... How many men are left on base? I don't care where Alex Bregman is hitting in the lineup. I don't care that Phil Maton is blowing it again in an inning. I'm having trouble saying that one. I care that, my God, one by one, the parade of injured pitchers continues and it feels devastating every time. Every time it's occurred, it feels devastating.
What was the biggest disappointing factor in the Cubs' loss to the Rockies?
And there's Edward Cabrera, who was okay last night, over four and a third. Was ultimately charged with five runs in that game. Did give up the big two-run homer to TJ Rumfield. That won the game. That made it three to two. But in that fifth inning, here we go. And there's still a little bit of mystery surrounding this. The hand cramp, which it seems like... I haven't heard of many of those, but... Cabrera, right before he's taken out, throws a sick pitch to get Julian looking, and I'm like, okay, now they're coming out there to take him out of the game? What exactly is going on in this case? And then Ryan Rolison comes in, but for me, it is Cabrera. Probably I take this personally, too, because I'm the one who said that Edward Cabrera would be the ace of the staff, and he's been, I think we called it backstage today, a bit of an enigma.
Oh. That's what he is. Do you know which way he's going? He's like the Cubs. Which way are you going, Edward Cabrera? I saw you throwing 99 last night. I see the stuff. I saw the slider looking to Julian before you got taken out of the game. I see it all. But where's the rest of it?
So much like the Cubs, he's yet to put it all together is what you're saying.
And then like the Cubs, he got injured.
Well, yeah. Okay.
Mike Cubs pitchers. He got injured again, by the way.
You gave me four good options on this one, Mark. They gave us four good options. Uh-huh. I think you think I'm going to say C. Of course. Alex Bregman's still hitting in the two hole.
Are you getting tired of yelling about that? I'm not even yelling about it. I'm just saying. Stop yelling, dude.
You can move him down. You can move him down. It's okay. You're not taking him out of the lineup. Just let a guy who has not been great not get the second most at bats. I think that's a reasonable stance. Is that fair? I think it is. I think so.
It's a fair stance. The man's got one home run this season with runners on base. I've never disagreed with anything that you've said about it.
Okay. Okay. But it's D. Okay. Cubs going 0-8 with runners in scoring position and those two things are related by the way there's a correlation if not a causation there because the Cubs not getting a hit with runners in scoring position is problematic as you mentioned earlier in the show 3-39 with runners in scoring position over the last three games 0-77 is what the average of that would be in case you need that Yes, that sounds correct.
No, that is correct.
Yes, 077.
I don't appreciate you doubting me.
It's really 078, but I'll let it slide because you round up. It's a seven that just keeps going. I wasn't going to say it until you went further. What have I told you about percentage point corrections? I'm just saying. No, but... Listen, they've got to find answers. Put the hit and run on.
