What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
The United States men's national soccer team was eliminated from the World Cup after a 4-1 loss to Belgium last night. Will you continue to watch the World Cup now that the United States is no longer in the tournament?
I'm watching it right now. It's on in the studio. Very curious about what was going to happen between Egypt and Argentina. And at last check, Egypt was up one to nothing.
Why should you watch the World Cup despite the USMNT's elimination?
Plot twist. Yeah, I am because there's too many storylines still out there for me personally. Me. World Cup watcher, but not like obsessive World Cup watcher. Spain, for example, is going to play Belgium. They're considered one of the best teams in the world. You mean Lamal is an incredible young talent. So is there a chance Spain takes it all? Is there a chance Argentina repeats? Is there a chance that France comes through? So there's multiple ways to still watch this World Cup and be intrigued.
Are you cheering for a team to win it all?
No. Okay. It's entertaining to me, and I watch and come from a position of still trying to learn more than anything.
Um, yes, I will probably be watching, but I'll be watching in passing. That means like right now there's a game on, I'm casually watching as we're doing a show. Right. But at the same time, when there's baseball or summer league basketball, I'll be watching that with the other thing on a second screen or just seeing updates and highlights. So I won't be like actively engaged. Probably maybe the final.
Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. It doesn't become the main screen anymore necessarily because of summer league.
Right. So I think, yes, I'll be watching and I'll be curious. And I'm curious about not just the games themselves, but the narratives, the storylines, what people are saying about it, all while realizing the U.S. really had a chance to make a bigger impact than they did and just came up short.
No love for the home teams, man. Canada's out. Mexico's out. United States is out.
Five on it.
Number two. Which Cubs player needs to have a big series in order to ensure a series win against the Orioles?
It's too easy to say Pete Grower Armstrong because he's doing his thing. He's playing to the responsibility level of his performances, and he's been a key source of the Cubs offense. It's the rest of the team that needs to perform. I'm looking at the number two hitter in Alex Bregman. Bregman, as long as he's going to hit in that position in the lineup, especially, needs to perform. And then how are they going to add to it? What happens when Pete Carr Armstrong is on base? Is somebody going to bring him home? That would help in all of this. You can't just take advantage of defensive mistakes like you did against the Mets and the Cardinals. I'm happy you did. But I need some real hits here in Baltimore where you know one could go out of the park, see Colson Montgomery.
And to be able to bring the appropriate teammates across home plate.
Out of the park and onto the street. That's what can happen in Baltimore. Much like Wrigley Field, right?
Out of the island and into the highway.
Listen, that dude Pete Crow Armstrong is batting over 292. Look, we're going to dedicate some time to talking about him because I really do believe he has a legitimate claim if he continues to do what he's been doing since moving to the leadoff spot. at the National League MVP award. I really think that's a possibility, something we need to talk about. But to your point, Layla, if I could just answer two-hole hitter, I would. Alex Bregman seems like he is going to be in the two-hole, so I completely understand why you said what you said.
Yes, like more doubles, please. We saw one in the series.
But at the same time, my answer is a little different. I'm going to go with the guy who's starting the third game. David Peterson. Yeah. Because I remember when I saw the last time I saw David Peterson on the mound, and it was straight out of a shop of whores.
