Rahimi Harrison Grody, midday's Tindle 2. On Chicago Sports Radio, 1043 The Score. And it's second and third, one away. Infield in one and one the count. Pitch. Rojas grounds one through in a right field for a base hit. Massey scores around third coming home. Ray, the throw not in time. He slides home safely. And it is a 3-0 lead for Kansas City. Two-run single for Josh Rojas.
Yeah, that's the way it went down when last we saw Clay Holmes pitching for the Cubs. I guess the first and only time that he had pitched for the Cubs. We welcome you back to Gallagher Way getting ready for Cubs Cardinals coming up at 120, 1245 pregame right here on the score. Yes, sir. It will be Clay Holmes against Matthew Liberator. The highlight you just heard was a Josh Rojas two-run single that goes Back to the August 8th game against Kansas City, where Clay Holmes did allow four runs, um, uh four innings, four runs on six hits. Not a great debut for him. It was the first time he had pitched since May 15th. And we are pleased to see that Bruce Levine has pulled up here in the tent at Gallagher Way.
Bruce, the 104-3, the score, baseball report. Reporter. Follow him now on X at MLB. Bruce Levine. Brewster, what's going on?
I will tell you we have some breaking news of sorts. Oh, I love this. Edward Cabrera is on his way back to pitch on Sunday for Let's Go that was the hope the whole time, Rubby.
Um about six weeks ago and and he's ready to return. So So good news.
builds in for show so Shoda gets it. Showda
goes the next
day. Okay. Okay.
Is that something that's gonna be implemented? Are they still trying to see?
No, yeah, we we just got through talking to Craig Counsel about that and he said that's something that they will address maybe when they have expanded rosters in September first. But for now, it's incumbent for them to stay in a five man. One guy will be pulled from the rotation coming up this week and be skipped. But he won't necessarily be out of the rotation going forward. Okay. But for this time around, they're staying with five and Cabrera is is going in. So is it Peterson? Yeah. Right. You know, well we d we don't know exactly how it's gonna look. But September first, teams are able to add one position player and one pitcher. Okay. That's how expanded rosters are now. Used to be you could add as many as you wanted.
Uh three years ago they came up with a new way and it's Two players and one's a pitcher, one's a position player. So when Council can add one more pitcher to his bullpen, he will consider going with the six-man rotation at that part. Uh what's the benefit of that? Dog days of summer, last month, you give every starting pitcher an extra day. They should be stronger. It should be, you know, on paper, this should be a very strong team going into the last month.
This is huge. Uh Bruce Levine, our score baseball insider, letting us know that Edgar Cabrera is here. He will he will start on Sunday. What is Craig Counsel saying about him? What does he ex the expect out of him? 'Cause he's been a relative disappointment up to this to this point this year. What do you expect out of him? Well manager I I don't know
don't know if you know this or not, Mark, but managers rarely say, uh, we we think he's gonna stink and we're gonna get him out of there after two innings.
Yeah, but Craig's not Mr. Hyperbole either. Well he was Well he was
he was asked if there he's gonna be on a limitation. He shook his head, he said no. So he threw a side session today. Every starting pitcher throws a a side session two days before they start. And uh he threw his side today. It's normally thirty pitchers or so. Um my guess is he'll be five innings, seventy to eight. eighty pitches. Yeah, too. That's what it'll be. If he's very efficient with his pitches, it could be six, but I'm thinking it's seventy to eighty tops for him. It's incre
it's incredible the point to which we have gotten relative to where the Cubs were. If you look at the beginning of the season, like Tyone is gone, uh Kate Horton is gone, Justin Steele is gone. Cubs go out and make the moves for Gossman and Clay Holmes.
