Vinny Rotino 0:36

That is Pat Hughes on the call with the stylings of the Cardinals press box announcer in the background telling you about the time of the game and a 10-2 Cubs whooping in St. Louis. That was quite the game. And yeah, the time of game was 2.59 because the Cubs spent a lot of time hitting balls. Colin Ray doing the thing, by the way. Six innings out of Colin Ray. Four hits, only one earned run. Two walks, two strikeouts. Marshall Harris, what do we call that out of team Colin Ray? Rahimi Harrison-Grody.

Marshall Harris 1:07

The expectation has been reached.

Vinny Rotino 1:09

A quality start.

Marshall Harris 1:11

Oh, it is a quality start. I didn't even realize it was a quality start until you just said that. Looky here.

Vinny Rotino 1:16

Because we're so used to being happy about Colin Ray. Four runs.

Marshall Harris 1:19

Like, okay, look, I want to be very clear. Colin Ray is under very much, very much underestimated, understated. This man has eight wins on the season. The most important thing that he's done, yes, with his 4.67 ERA on the season, is he has given the Cubs innings. In a year where most of their starters, outside of Shota Managa, have not been able to take the ball every fifth game, this man has done that. And remember, he didn't even start. the year in the rotation.

Vinny Rotino 1:58

No, he is our version. He's the 2026 version of the dad who stepped up. I don't know if he has kids or not. Matthew Boyd was that guy last year. He's not the stepdad. He's the dad who stepped up. And Colin Ray has absolutely done that. In the meantime, poor Michael McGreevy looked like he was just out there laboring from the very beginning. I mean, the shots of him on the mound where he's sweaty and looking... I don't even know what the word would be. Discompobulated? Bewildered? Jigamorel? Jigamorel?

Marshall Harris 2:29

Jigamorel is not how we're using that word, guys. That's not what we're doing.

Vinny Rotino 2:33

It sounds like it's just another way to say rigamarole, but it broke my brain yesterday. I think I'm just too intent on listening to every word Ben Johnson says. Jig him a rope. I think I'm too much in football mode right now, and it's breaking my brain.

Marshall Harris 2:50

Get healthy?

Vinny Rotino 2:51

Yeah, that too, Coach, yes. I would love to get healthy and stay healthy, but I don't run fast enough for any of your offense. This was, yet again, another statement by the Cubs offensively, a statement by the Cubs when it came to the pitching side of it, which I really just appreciated. They needed to answer to me, just me, LR, angry about it still. They needed to answer for the egg they laid in St. Louis when they were last there. It was May, you're on national TV, and it just... It was not how you make a statement in a division where you need to gain some ground. And we talked about this too.

What were Colin Ray's pitching stats and why is his start considered a 'quality start'?

Vinny Rotino 3:33

They were at 1.1 and 6 against St. Louis this season. You do this two more games in a row, you have a chance to step on their throats. Could you make them sellers at the trade deadline or at least not doing any buying? Could you at least prevent them from that? With a series like this, if you sweep them in a four-game series at home, statement made.

Marshall Harris 3:54

It's like when you walk into the name of a retail store, any retail store, and you see the checkout, right? That's where everybody's buying stuff, right? Checkout lines, grocery store, right? Sure. But right there, there's a little desk, a little customer service, and you see a couple of people there making some exchanges, returns, trying to sell some things back. The Cardinals are in the grocery store right now. They thought they were going to be checking out with some stuff. They're not.

Vinny Rotino 4:17

They're putting the stuff back away once they ring it up.

Marshall Harris 4:19

Yeah, they put it back once they ring it up.
