What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Rahimi Harrison-Grody. I don't want to break time. I want to yell at Marshall. Can we handle more Anthony Heron? Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. Dansby Swanson the batter. Hits a fly ball into deep left center. Back toward the wall. Grand slam. Dansby Swanson with a grand slam to left center. He has three home runs and eight runs batted in for the day. And the Cubs lead 22-3.
It's just not a real score.
No, it's not a real score.
That is courtesy of the Cubs Radio Network.
What is Dansby Swanson's recent performance like?
Pat Hughes, Ron Coomer, Zach Saban, the crew, you know them well. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Dustin William William Rhodes of The Morning Show is in the house for this hour because I wanted him to talk about baseball with me, and he obliged.
Thanks for letting me hang out for a couple more minutes with you guys. And I'm just going to go for it. I love that Dansby Swanson has found his swing again, and I know that's something we're going to talk about. But we just heard the Grand Slam.
How did Swanson's grand slam impact the game against the Padres?
Pat did a great job. It was great to have Pat back. Zach did a nice job, always does a nice job. It's always best when the whole crew, all three of them are there. It's a great radio call that we get to have right here on 104.3 The Score.
Absolutely.
But that Grand Slam, as far as his baseball card, I don't think should count. Because if you watch the video, the backup catcher or the catcher of the Padres is the field position playing. And I know that really aggravates Pat Hughes.
What records has Dansby Swanson set recently?
He hates that position.
Position player pitching?
Yes, he hates that.
Ozzie does too, by the way.
And I agree with it as well. He's leaning back. It was almost like... or bad softball or throwing it to a little kid. Dansby's up there like he's going to hit a softball or it's home run derby. He pops that thing. It should count in the score of the game because that's the game. But I don't know that if that's his first and only three home run game, I'm not so sure you want to have that as your first three run home run game over that pitcher. That's all I'm saying.
Which may be why he was a little more reticent after the game. It wasn't like he was here to, like, take the flowers and the sash and the crown and wave to the crowd. He wasn't like that. Yeah, Rodolfo Duran, the catcher, pitching at that point. So maybe, you know, he's like that. I could see him not wanting to take full credit for that because of the nature of the situation. However.
It went out of the park. It went out of the park.
When was the last time we got to talk about this team scoring runs like this? You still did the work to get there.
And with the way the pitching staff is beat up, this is what you have to do. You have to put as many runs across the plate. Listen, what was it the other night? The Cubs had a nice lead and all of a sudden...
9-3. 9-3 lead.
And all of a sudden it was 9-6 or 9-7. That was the final. They hung on to win that game. So it's really never over. But when it's 23-3 or 22 or 19, and again, you can't take everybody out of the game, right? Because Ian Happ had been removed from the game at that point.
I believe Nico Warner had been removed from the game. Yeah, the Padres had done a lot of substitutions too. But you only have so many people available too.
Exactly, right. So you had to leave. Again, and... I guess I can see it both ways. I'm just talking from the back of the baseball card. If that was his first three home run game, might need a little asterisk.
Just a little asterisk. I think you're right to give that the appropriate context. And we don't do that enough. So that's beyond fair. But in the meantime, we know what we're seeing. This goes back to June 17th. That's against the Rockies. There's discussion, Dustin, about... Him, Dansby Swanson, going over the iPad with John Maley intently. This is a guy who also, I think we forget this, prior to him coming here when he was with the Atlanta Braves, the year that the Braves won the World Series, they talked about how during the season, in the middle of the season, somewhere around July, they were not happy with the way the infield was playing.
