What happened in the opening innings and who hit the grand slam for the Cubs?

Leila Rahimi 0:01

Layla Rahimi, Mark Grody, middays, 10 a.m. to two on the school. And the one-two pitch from Miller. And Hap drives one in the air to right. If it's fair, it's gonna be gone. That ball is a Fairball. Grand slam. Ian Hap. I believe it hit the foul pole. A line drive right down the line and right, gone by plenty. And the Cubs grab The lead

Mark Grote 0:39

Spot on Pat Hughes. You got that right, buddy. It did hit the foul pole. Inhap a grand slam during the Cubs 19-2 win over the Mariners as we welcome you back into Rahemian Grody on 104-3. The score. Oh, did the Cubs need that after two stunning, stunning losses in the previous two games in this series for the Cubs who lose to out of three in Seattle, the first road series loss in like forever for the Cubs. But that was a thing of beauty for Ian Hap because a one-two count with two outs in the game. And like I said, the Cubs just they just needed a victory and it felt like they were taking some frustrations out yesterday on Seattle.

Vinny Rotino 1:24

Well yeah, they should because of what happened in the games on Friday and Saturday that you mentioned, Mark. Like you don't you don't want the Mariners to get hot on you. And then what do we see in that first game? Cal Raleigh home ring, which this isn't last year. That was only his fourteenth home run of the season.

Mark Grote 1:40

Three run bomb at that.

Vinny Rotino 1:41

And if that doesn't explain how they got in the position they were in in this series, that's a good example. Yeah, the Mariners played the Cubs really well when it when they were here last year. And that was a a dominant series for them.

How did the Cubs bounce back after two straight losses in Seattle?

Vinny Rotino 1:54

We saw them hit well. I did not think that in a pitcher's ballpark like Seattle that especially when you get Daniel Palencia back into the mix. How about that? That unfortunately I think Matthew Boyd suffered another hiccup. We see Cal Raleigh take advantage with multiple base runners on, for example, and then To see uh Randy Rose and Reyna also do to the Cubs what PCA did to the White Sox. That was some swift karma. Just a lot of I think frustrating aspects of this series that led you to say to yourself, This is a team that was eight games under five hundred before they got into this. And you could have easily helped your cause for the Cubs and you end up I mean, two out of three on the road makes sense against that team, but unfortunately they they take the first two games of the series.

Vinny Rotino 2:37

It's nice that you got nineteen runs in one game, but you know, the Brewers got twenty two and one and then they won the other one, the third game of their series prior in the week.

Mark Grote 2:46

Yeah, and as it stands right now the Cubs are that's right, I still look. Cubs are six back of Milwaukee in the division two up on Philadelphia for the wild card. That's probably where our eyes should be right now is just making sure Philadelphia doesn't catch the Cubs.

Vinny Rotino 3:00

And another thing about Friday's game. Oh now Sir Anthony Dominguez wants to wants to strike people out and get appropriate outs in the tenth inning. N now you want to do that, Sir Anthony Dominguez? Oh

Mark Grote 3:11

Sir Please Sir

Vinny Rotino 3:12

Oh, you decided to do it in Seattle. Okay, okay.

Mark Grote 3:16

Unbelievable. Cool, cool. I can't decide which night was worse for the Cubs, the Friday or the Saturday, because in the in the Friday game, you get you get the dramatics of that game. You get two, by the way, Bregman has just been deluxe lately. Alex Bregman, two homers in that gloom, including the game-tying home run in the ninth. The game where you get the game-tying home run in the ninth on the road is a game that you are supposed To win and Leo Rivas is not supposed to get the game winning hit off of your trade deadline. High leverage reliever Ryan Zephyrjon in the in the tenth inning with the extra infielder and all the stuff that was going on in that game. However, the real stunner was on Saturday because the the Cubs had the situation where

Why is Ian Hap’s grand slam considered a turning point in the series?

Mark Grote 4:06

In the ninth inning, and they're up four to two after two outs. Two outs. Two outs. Yeah. Jacob Webb. And he gets a pass. He does get a pass. But that was stunning to see him blow the lead, blow the game, and Seattle wins it five to four on the, as you mentioned earlier, Randy Cubs Killer Arroz Arena, the walk-off against Jacob Webb in the ninth inning.
