Chapter 1: What are the initial thoughts on Braden Montgomery's MLB debut?
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.
Adam Amit, Bill's play-by-play announcer, joining us in studio.

Chapter 2: What anecdotes highlight the excitement of the White Sox game?
You don't know which game to focus on. You have to kind of guess. You have to kind of feel your way through it. And you can have both on, but you know what I mean, that you can focus on it. It's also, Layla, very difficult for me to get my daily dose of office episodes in while I'm trying to watch a Cubs game and a White Sox game. But, no, barely a problem.
Yeah, it's like you're watching Eduardo Julien hitting another – RBI hit. A new Cubs killer is born.
Getting the Joey Weamer award is at Wardo Julian last night. Weamer!
Not Weamer! Weamer is the opening day enemy of the Cubs and Matthew Boyd. Oh my goodness.
Getting the who's this guy today.
That Derek guy, like on the White Sox. But last night was great. All in a game, by the way, Layla, which ended triumphantly. A beautiful broadcast about which we will speak. But a game also where the manager, Will Vettable, and he was right after the game, saying the situational execution was honestly a disaster. Close quote. And he's talking about all the bunting, and he blamed himself. He did.
Two, on the safety squeeze that he insisted upon attempting to run where Randall Gritchick was a dead duck at the plate.
But anyway... No, you know what? It's funny because you don't think, oh, this year that I worked with Will Venable when he was a player in San Diego would be such a definitive year for Will. Will, who has this multi-year career, of course, playing and then also working his way up through coaching staffs in the big leagues. But... The DNA of the Padres where Bud Black was the manager.
You had Ricky Renteria as the bench coach, by the way. Dave Roberts was your first base coach. And Trevor Hoffman's brother, Glenn, was third.

Chapter 3: How is the performance of the Cubs compared to the White Sox discussed?
All of you played a part. Thanks to Grant Holmes for having the performance that we thought he was going to have against the Cubs against the White Sox.
Do you remember that?
We were like, Grant Holmes, the Cubs have it easy this day. Then he goes like a billion innings and gets his best start ever. Meanwhile, against the Sox, he only goes three and two thirds and gave up three earned runs.
Thank you.
Thanks. Thanks for finally having that game.
Who else made this pop? I mean, Grant Taylor. Eric Fetty went 5-8. He had the opener, but the Fed man. Shout out to the Fed man. A little bit of Fetty. Grant, do you give Grant Taylor a little love? Because he did have one scoreless inning. He gave up a run. I get it, but.
Yeah, it's inevitable.
It is inevitable.
It's the freaking Braves. Their run differential is, I'm pretty sure, scientifically speaking, 11-T billion.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about the managerial decisions in the Cubs game?
We welcome you here to the ballpark. You've seen it before, and it's wonderful to have you on the broadcast. You know, I didn't get the memo. I realize this is a throwback game. At first, when you walked in the booth, I thought you were part of a revival of Guys and Dolls, but this is your 80s outfit. This is it, and the problem is that although the jacket looks nice, somebody shrunk the pants.
Amazing how that happens that way with the passage of time. Yes. Yes.
They were so good. I mean, just that back and forth. You're talking about Costas is the GOAT. There's no doubt. But just the banter and listening to them enjoy the game.
I don't know how much of the postgame you watch.
I couldn't... I turned it over to Nutcracker Christmas Party, a.k.a. Cubs and Rockies.
I completely understand. I couldn't turn off the postgame, and it was hilarious because per the jacket that was just mentioned there of Steve Stone, Ozzie was just busting balls. He was like... Oh, that's how you get Steve Stone to be wearing a jacket out there. With a paisley shirt, no less. He's like, it took Bob Costas to get Steve Stone.
And he said he was texting Steve Stone and just making fun of him because he complied because Bob Costas was in the building, is what Ozzy was saying.
Well, he's right. And then I mentioned the San Diego Chicken, who I myself... the year Will Venable and I worked together in San Diego, I got to see for myself. And it was hilarious because people wanted his attention in the crowd and they just kept screaming the word chicken. Chicken! It's the most non-sequitur, funny, out of touch, out of context hilariousness to me.
But this was just part of the sights and sounds. Listen to them bringing up vintage mascots, including the famous San Diego chicken.

Chapter 5: What were the highlights of Braden Montgomery's MLB debut?
Yeah, that's how he drew it up. That was... I still don't know what to say. That was unreal.
There were some balls. Matt Olsen hit a couple that kind of fell short of the wall. Yeah. And did you think you got it when you made contact there? I had no clue.
I hit it, and I thought that it would at least get over his head, and so I was excited that at least we didn't lose.
That was, yeah, that was, that left me speechless. That was just surreal.
I mean, I couldn't even hear anything. I was, obviously I was told the crowd was pretty loud, but I, yeah, that was, I'll have to, it was a change-up, a change-up, yeah. Yep, put a good swing on it, and the rest is history.
I heard that it was a very loud clubhouse after that game.

Chapter 6: What are the key takeaways from Will Venable's managing style?
I bet it was. He was kind of in Chris Farley mode right there. A little bit of the Chris Farley show. Oh, yeah. That was awesome.
Remember that time?
I couldn't believe it. Did you ever see that guy? Yeah.
You could tell he was, I think, speechless and also still kind of amazed at himself. It's one thing to do this in AAA. Quite another to do it at the big league level against one of the best closers in the game.
One of five players to ever in their major league debut hit a game-winning home run.
He likes to slug. He does.
That's what Will Venable said.
I hear liking to slug helps you win ballgames.
Why'd you bunt so much last night, Will? A guy who loves to slug.

Chapter 7: How do injuries impact the Bears' defensive line strategy?
So a quick overview on the internet, which wasn't really a thing in the 80s like this. Tells me that tubular, the definition is absolutely amazing or excellent. Which sounds better than rad. You know, rad is, it's good. There was a movie Rad with Lori Loughlin that was very popular. It's about bikes and whatnot.
Was she one of the ones that got in trouble later?
Oh, yeah. Mrs. Loughlin. Project Varsity Blues.
College.
Yeah, now she's out and her daughter... I don't know that it was ever an issue for the family.
Okay.
Rich people problems.
Yeah. Cleared that up.
Oh, like you really needed a degree from USC to be an influencer?

Chapter 8: What insights does Ben Johnson provide about Jalen Johnson's performance?
Well, yeah. Or just, you know, like, except the fact that you probably just aren't going to get a college degree and it's okay.
What is this song, by the way?
Pretty sure you guys will be fine. Is this just 80s production, Ben?
That's exactly what this is. I searched 80s production music in our production library, and this is one of the ones I like the most.
Everything in the 80s sounds like you can do it. You can do it, music. It's the eye of the tiger. I learned it from you. You can do it. You can see a montage happening right now. Come on.
You can do it. After asking where your children were, we then decided that everything needed to be very motivational, but also say no to drugs.
That's right.
Which are now legal in a lot of places.
Been hearing all that.
