Who is David Ross and what is his connection to the Cubs?
Catching and hitting eight for the Cubs, number three, David Ross. David Ross. Chicago! 2016 World Series champion for your Chicago Cubs.
Ross flies one into center, sends Davis back at the wall. Let's go! I'm an emotional wreck. It's only going to get worse. A little bouncer slowly toward Bryant. He will glove it and throw to Rizzo. It's in time. And the Chicago Cubs win the World Series. Former Cubs manager. It is my honor to introduce the 55th manager of the Chicago Cubs, David Ross. Let's see if David has a few words with Eric Backus. Yes, he does. David has been tossed out of the game. David probably... Protecting his base coach, Mike Napoli. It's got to be better, you know. There's a lot of bulls**t that went on today that just was really frustrating. Are they allowed to do that? I don't f**king know. Host of the Lovable Reunion podcast. I walk in and I'm like scanning and I'm getting madder as I scan.
I was like, I can't yell at him. I can't yell at him. I can't yell at him. And the next guy on my list was Rob Z. I was like, Rob Z, you rookie f**ker. Get your ass out here and cheer the boys on.
David Ross. I think we're pretty damn good. With Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. I love a Rob Zistrisny notion.
I do. Oh, man, all of that sounds so good. The David Ross highlights. The song, Forever Young. It's beautiful. I'm getting goosebumps right now. You know him. You love him. David Ross. He is a Cubs World Series winner. Led the Cubs to the NL Central crown as a manager in the year 2020. These days, he still does it all, doing some work for ESPN. Hosting, as you heard in the open, what is the excellent, excellent, lovable reunion podcast with Anthony Rizzo, which you could watch on Marquee. You could hear it as well. But David Ross joins Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score. David, how's life? Because it always sounds good when it's you.
Good to chat with you guys. Everything's great, man. How y'all doing?
We are doing well, man. Unfortunately, the team that we cover and talk about so much and carry right here on 104.3, the score has been a bit of, I'll use a nice word, it's been a bit of a conundrum this year, David. I know that you had the up-close look at the Cubs this past Sunday in San Francisco. It was a four-run loss. Have you been able to, not just from that game, but following this team, watching this team, have you been able to figure out this year's Chicago Cubs?
I don't know if you can ever figure out a Major League Baseball season, but, I mean, early on, you know, it was a lot of fun. I got to be honest, there was some jealousy watching some of those games and seeing Wrigley Field just absolutely rocking and the comeback wins. I think we got nine come from behind or walk-off wins, right? So, I mean, the team's exciting. It's fun. Pete Crow Armstrong's one of the most exciting players in the game, and I think it's just a little bit of baseball. You know, there's some ups and downs. They've taken a big blow on the pitching staff. You know, the guys that you guys talk to know more than I do, but just looking from a distance, it's hard to lose, you know, two, three of your horses.
And Justin Steele, a guy they were depending on, Kate Horton, Michael Boyd, I know Palencia just went down. I mean, they've had some real injuries to the staff and, you know, When you look at it from a big picture standpoint, you know, all the depth that the front office had built up is, you know, your Michael, I'm sorry, Colin Reyes and who else we got? Assad, Javier Assad. You know, you've got guys that are using a lot of innings. You're depending on a lot of innings from your depth pieces. And, you know, usually it's going to be hard to win like that. So, again, it hasn't been the Pigeon staff. I think they've held serve pretty good. The offense is not going. But it's a talented offensive group. I'm sure they'll be fine and get in the playoffs.
And Rigby will be celebrating in October maybe some postseason wins. Who knows?
Yeah, they're still right there in the wild card hunt right now. Do you feel like the division, though, might be out of reach just because of what Milwaukee's been able to do
