I got five. It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score.
I got five on it.
Number one.
Five on it. Raheem Harrison-Grody live at Gallagher Way ahead of Cubs-Yankees. Here's question number one. What was your biggest takeaway from the Cubs-Cardinals series?
I think for me it was the timely hitting. And even in a loss like you mentioned, Mark, when you've got hits of consequence, when the Cubs have a batter who opposing teams are afraid to see, PCA coming up to the plate in extra innings, in the ninth inning, when it really counts, and then you're able to make something happen like, oh, this would be really cool in the 10th inning if there was a home run by PCA here. And then there was. That is, I don't even know what to say. Those are big league moments. And if you have enough of those, as we've seen, then you do the thing that I was hoping you would do. I wanted to sweep. I got greedy. But you stepped on the necks of the Cardinals. Taking three out of four at their plays, especially ahead of a trade deadline, is a powerful statement to make.
So that was my biggest takeaway.
Doggone it. My biggest takeaway is very simple on this.
Dag nabbit.
Alex Bregman.
What happened in the Cubs-Cardinals series that stood out?
Alex Bregman. It doesn't matter if he uses his bat, if he borrows a bigger bat like the one of Dansby Swanson to jumpstart himself and then switches back to his own bat. and continues to deliver, this guy in the second half, I believe, is going to be the guy on the back of his baseball card. And to see him bang away against the Cardinals in a series that was important because it was a chance for you to further separate yourself from St. Louis by gaining an extra two games on the cards and get yourself better position going into the trade deadline to be a team that is here not only to, Stake your claim as a playoff team, but as a team that is still a threat to win this division. And I think it's hinging more and more on Alex Bregman as we understand what PCA is.
As Nico Horner rounds back into form, if Seiya Suzuki can just be Seiya Suzuki. Carson Kelly, Ian Happ, obviously Pete Corarmstrong who has been the constant. It just feels like the Bregman turn is what's going to push the Cubs back towards the top of this National League race. And I say that because if they can find a way to catch the Brewers, you would think they would get the bye. And Mark said it best, five and a half. That's a different number than six. Just to have the five instead of the six and knowing you've got games still to play against the Brewers, it gives you new life for what the second half could mean for the Cubs.
You know, I'm having a hard time with this one because I love the, I know we're talking takeaways, but that PCA home run was a blast. You guys know I adored that. The Michael McGreevy torturing him, having him having to come out in the second inning and it looking like he wanted to come out after Ian Haft worked that full count and doubles on like an 8 to 10 pitch at bat. But I can't not go with Alex Bregman just because of how important this man is. Reminder, you're with this guy for the next five years. Five years, $175 million. He is Marshall to back you up. He was 10 for 18 with six doubles. in that series. His number, you mentioned the back of the baseball card, it's getting closer. Average is getting closer.
OPS is getting closer. He's not there yet. But not only that, we're starting to see the smart Alex Bregman. the guy that is a winner yesterday's game one of the most key moments of the game came in the fourth inning when he was at second bregman's at second ian happ flies out old lars nutbar who forgot that it was only two outs situational baseball situational baseball he thought that there were three outs regman picked up on that right away so he goes to third meantime newt bar sees that he makes a bad throw to the cutoff guy, and it's just this comedy of errors because Alex Bregman was awake and alert and foreshadowing stuff like that.
