Chapter 1: Why do the Cubs need a strong performance this Memorial Day weekend?
The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye! Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
When I was trying to check on the Cavaliers and Knicks game during the Cubs game and during the White Sox game, like, ah, this is a hand for Cleveland. Well, they're just taking that momentum from Game 7 against Detroit, and they are using it to their advantage. And then the Knicks came away with a win and an incredible comeback, 115-104 in overtime.
During an 18-1 run during this time, Kenny Atkinson, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, although I don't know for how much longer if this continues, held on to two timeouts, one of which could obviously have been used to try to stem the tie, as they say.
Held on to two timeouts and then lost in an epic comeback, you say? How exactly did he explain that one?
Yeah, I like to hold my timeouts.

Chapter 2: Could Pete Crow-Armstrong benefit from a day off?
I mean, you know, I didn't want to have one timeout at the end of the game. One or two point game, I try to hold them.
Yeah, we're going to let it play out.
The hair. The hair is also very similar. At least somebody told us their actual strategy.
That's fair.
At least Kenny's out here telling you what he was thinking.
I think we handled it the right way. I do believe that, you know, you just re-rack the play, get it in balance, and call timeout, and that's why we held it and didn't work out the way we wanted it to. Does he make fresh honey at his home? It's been great watching him, observing him, and also getting the honey. We harvest honey out of there. Have a beekeeper.
It'd be cool if I could do that, but I'm a little busy.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Ian Happ's strikeout issues?
I was in the commercial break scouring the Kenny Atkinson locker room videos in the hopes that he was giving all the Cavaliers players nicknames, but it's not a thing. He's not that Eberfuss.
Big Dog, you good? Spidey, you good? Governor? Young Jedi. The Canadian Eagle.
That's what they call him. You gave me Monster of the Midway.
And what else? The Beast. I got nicknames for you guys, too. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody.
Chapter 4: How has the Cubs' recent performance affected their standings?
Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
What's up, yours? Ah, memories. We are thrilled to report that score listeners over 24 hours, thanks in part to Danny Parkins, of course, putting this together. The Cubs for a Cure Radiothon has raised over $800,000.
In the name of cancer research and 24 hours for raising awareness for horrible conditions like glioblastoma and so many stories that were shared on these airways over the last 24 hours. We cannot say thank you enough. And before, as we take the ball after 24 hours, starting at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and Danny going a full 24 until 10 a.m., I just wanted to start with that as well.
This feels like the minutes following any given trade deadline because it is over 800,000. But guess what? They're still tabulating the final number. So that's not even done yet because, you know, trades happen at the last minute. Donations happen at the last second.
Chapter 5: What impact does the injury to Matt Shaw have on the Cubs?
The computer takes a minute to catch up.
Every little bit helps. And we saw donations that were bigger in number and some smaller, but the point is every single one matters. So thank you again. It is just an incredible, incredible act. And at a time where money for research is no longer as plentiful and when your wallet is no longer as plentiful, given what's going on with gas prices, inflation and the like, this is incredible.
So again, thank you to our SCORE listeners and our SCORE family for somehow, some way, always finding a way to just make every single year better. It really is just absolutely overwhelming. So I want to start with that. And thank you. At least we got to start with one positive today. Now we got to start with the sports part of it as well.
I have a positive. The Cubs, White Sox, neither of those teams lost yesterday.
Everybody was undefeated yesterday.

Chapter 6: How does the Cubs' lineup change with Pedro Ramirez's call-up?
And you got a night off if you wanted to watch something else like the Eastern Conference Finals.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, yeah. Knicks up 2-0 just like that. In the meantime... I think you're right, Marshall. It was a much-needed day off for the Cubs themselves. We talked about the light of construction. We talked about all the concerns going into the Brewers game. Since it was the Radiothon, we didn't get to react to the news about Edward Cabrera and the blister.
And once again, Ray Diaz, our producer, what did I say after Shota Imanaga had his last start that we saw him have against the Brewers to start this series? Did I or did I not say yesterday's price is not today's price?
That's right.
Guess what happened after Edward Cabrera had the blister? Yesterday's price remained not today's price.

Chapter 7: What are the thoughts on PCA's mental state affecting his game?
Yesterday's price is not today's price. Shout out Fat Joe.
Man, that man is a philosopher. I know you want me to listen to his podcast more, but there's only so many hours in a day.
Absolutely. There's a lot of content on there, a lot of sports, a lot of Chicago sports going on.
A lot of life lessons being had. Also, Layla, supply and demand.
There's just not the supply right now of available starting pitching that would lead you to believe it's going to be easy for anybody, Cubs or any other team notwithstanding, to just go out and get a starting pitcher. That's why I'm curious as to why they didn't exhaust, and I do mean exhaust, the free agent market.
You know, Lucas Giolito is the first name, of course, that comes to mind if you're sitting here watching baseball in Chicago. But when you talk about yesterday's price is not today's price, first of all, you've got to have pitching in stock, right? I feel like right now pitching is on back order.
And we know as we get closer to the trade deadline, there will be more back order available to other teams because other teams will have started to wave the white flag on the season.
Well, but that's it.

Chapter 8: What strategies can the Cubs employ to improve their hitting?
We just don't know. We don't know who's going to wave the white flag on the season. You look to teams where you say, oh, this is a likely team to deal with the trade deadline. And that's been very much part of the problem is last year. The American League had a lot of parody and we saw the Cubs on the outside looking in when.
The big names after the trade deadline that were acquired were guys like Michael Soroka and Willie Castro. And then now you see that this year there's even more parity in the American League. The Houston Astros coming to town are a good example of that.
I wouldn't call them sellers at the trade deadline, even though their record is 11 games under .500, because they're a long-term build type of team who's going through injuries. The point is, it's even more up for grabs now as far as teams that may think they're in it, the time that passes. And the Cubs are on the outside looking in at a possible trade market.
It's why I asked Jed Hoyer, Marshall, when he was on with us, what's the harm in setting your own market if you feel like that's the case? And there was a report from Jesse Rogers this morning that he said the Cubs are as active as any team. working the phones right now.
So that may indicate that I didn't mean to tip the hand, but if I have my GM hat on, especially after Edward Cabrera goes down, everybody else knows that you are that much more of a buyer at this time.
No, that's absolutely correct. And here's the other thing, Layla. I mean, it's like when you need something major, like everybody likes a sale, right? Everybody likes a sale. They like a bargain.
A deal.
To feel like, yeah, I got that. And that was a really good value buy for me. The problem is, you know, you can't always wait until the next sale. And so that's how I look at this trade deadline.
Are you talking about me and my constant pursuit of maybe thinking about buying a place or a car? I just watched the entire market pass me by and everything just went up in price.
