What happened in the Cubs' latest game against the Rockies?
Rahimi, Harrison, Grote. Middays 10-2. On 104.3, the score.
Runner at first goes. Here's the base hit to right, and the ball game is over. The Colorado Rockies have beaten the Chicago Cubs by a score of 3-2.
Why are the Cubs struggling to maintain their performance?
Thompson, a single into right, has a pinch batter. And the Rockies make it two straight. And the Cubs' troubles continue. They have fallen... all the way back to the 500 mark. And there were times tonight, Ron, where it looked very much like this would be the night the Cubs would turn things around. It turned out not to be the case.
Even the voice and the presence of the great Pat Hughes Could not make that feel better. 34-34, Cubs lose to the Rockies. Late night last night, right here on 104.3, the score, Colorado 3, Cubs 2. That's right, Sterling Thompson, the game-winning base hitoff, Daniel Palencia in the ninth to give them that victory. We welcome you back into Rahimi Harris and Grody. And so, we find ourselves in a critical moment
What critical moment is the Cubs' season currently facing?
An inflection point in the season, if you will. I don't know if I'm using that right or not, but it's Chicago baseball where the Chicago White Sox are in first place while the Cubs, as you heard Pat Hughes, the Hall of Famer, say the Chicago Cubs have dropped to 500 points. The question that we're going to ask here, and we welcome you to play along with us, is how do you feel about your Chicago baseball team? 3-1-2, 6-44, 67-67. I know how you feel about your team, Smiling Marshall.
I mean, look, I'm not, and by no means am I someone who hates the Cubs or anything. I just, I'm just excited the White Sox aren't going to lose 100 games, it seems like. You like
to poke the cubs a little no i just do you think i would i think i do not poke the cubs i tell the truth you don't poke the cubs i'm talking about cubs fans oh yeah yeah you got just people i know though not the general public me and others you like to just well because i said very specific things and you guys kind of laughed at me
And I feel like apologies can be issued at any time. You don't have to wait until the end of the season. What did we laugh at?
I don't remember laughing. Like, ha, ha, ha, Marshall.
Like the White Sox are going to out-Homer the Cubs this season.
How do injuries impact the Cubs' roster and performance?
I said that very distinctly, very clearly. And I'll admit, I smiled back to Marshall. I didn't necessarily laugh out loud, but I smiled at Marshall like, okay, Marshall, sure, that'll happen.
I thought you meant how many home runs Cubs pitchers give up versus how many home runs White Sox fans.
And that's fine that you guys don't respect my baseball knowledge. That's okay. I'm okay with that because it's not like I said it and it was like out of left field. I said, look at what happened after the all-star break last year. The White Sox out-Homer'd the Cubs. Very bluntly, plainly, not close. They had power. Thanks, Cubs! And so this year I was like, look at who they have coming back. We just talked about the young hitters. And look at what the Cubs have coming back.
What strategies are being employed by the Cubs' management?
They added Alex Bregman. To replace Kyle Tucker. That's essentially all they did. Can you point to another major roster move for the Cubs? Offensively?
Not offensively. I was going to say Edward Cabrera when you said another major move that they made. And I know. I know.
What I'm saying is, as much as everyone in this studio... complained, even though they won a playoff series, the wildcard series against the Padres, as much as they complained about the lack of offensive consistency. To me, I was like, they should be better than last year, but I don't think they're going to be that much better than last year. So I thought the Cubs, yes, would win the division. On the strength of starting pitching, we see how that's gone. Kate Horton out for the season. The season barely begun and Kate Horton's gone. Justin Steele, you let me know when he's coming back. And now Matthew Boyd, the latest guy to say, oh, I know I went out with meniscus surgery. Now my shoulder is bothering me.
None of that is positive. And so when you talk about the Cubs being a 500-team mark, I point to how exactly are they going to get to being a winning team now?
