Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
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.
How confident are you in that the Cubs can win the series against the Giants? And how confident are you that they can sweep them?
I am not confident that the Cubs can sweep the Giants. I would like for them to win the series against the Giants. That would go a long way with me. But I am not confident that they can sweep or take the series, especially with the Giants being at home.
The Cubs are due. I'm very confident they're going to win the series against the Giants. Mainly because they're due. And here's what I mean when I say that. They've gone 10 straight series without a series win. No, I don't think they're going to sweep. I do think they can win the series, despite the last time they played the Giants. 1-1. Bush swings, drills one deep in the air to right.
Down the line it goes.

Chapter 3: What were the highlights of the Cubs' recent performance?
Then you got more fun in the clubhouse.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
It is nice to be able to say safely. That this was a successful weekend of baseball for both of our teams here in Chicago. We welcome you in to Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score. It was so successful that I believe Marshall Harris, were you giving yourself the touchdown sign during the open for the success that the Cubs had this weekend?
you of little faith I said yeah they're definitely going to win the series the odds were in their favor and I said they'll have a chance to sweep guess what they won the first two games they had a chance to sweep they fell on their face Yesterday. Yes. Yes. There was a face falling yesterday. They got back to their old habits of negative rispy is what I call it.
Zero for six with runners in scoring position for the Cubs yesterday. And Logan Webb, who stayed in the game, stayed in the game, looked like Logan Webb. One run over eight innings, that's not ideal when you're a team looking to get a win. You probably want to get the starting pitcher on out of there before eight innings have been completed.
Yes, but they take two out of three, so that was nice for the Cubs. And then there is, and I use this word in the best of ways, in the greatest city in the world here, Chicago. This was a wonderfully hyper, hyper series at home for the White Sox against the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers, from whom the White Sox take two out of three. That just blast of a game on Friday night.
where it's Friday night in the city, and the south side is looking beautiful, and the aerial views are chef's kiss, and the White Sox reward their fans with that triumphant 8-2 win. Just felt so good. Yeah, you could beat the Dodgers. You could beat up the Dodgers. Now, day two didn't go as well.
They lose, and we'll talk about Yoshi Yamamoto and what he did in the Dodgers 7-1, went over the White Sox, and then yesterday, you cracked Three home runs in the sixth inning, and you beat the Dodgers by a final score of 6-4. So it was just this great feeling, this great vibe. Everywhere I went around the city, I saw people walking around in White Sox uniforms. I was on the trains yesterday.
Many of the red lines elevated these days, by the way. A bit of a pain in the ass. But when I am looking at the White Sox... Right now, yeah, there is all sorts of issues with... I decided to go on little train rides this weekend for some reason, to go to different places around the city. It's a hit or miss proposition, Mark. It is a hit or miss proposition for sure.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Bulls hiring Tiago Splitter?
Their offense is mob violence. And here's what I mean by that. You mentioned, oh, six runs in an inning. That's pretty good. That wasn't even the most runs they scored in an inning in the series. Go back to Friday night when they unloaded a seven spot. My bad. Yeah. Yeah, they were down two to one at the time. And down 2-1, and then they were down 1-0, and then what happened? Violence.
And here's what violence looks like, Mark. Tristan Peters, two-run triple. Here's what violence looks like. It looks like, oh, you're cute, Emichian. You got through the White Sox order twice and only gave up a single hit. Watch what happens round three. Round three, Antonacci, to your mention, yanks one out. How hard was the single that Miguel Vargas hit after that? It was a laser. 1-0, 1-10?
Yeah.
And then Andrew Benatendi is like, I know y'all forgot about me, but I'm the highest paid White Sox free agent ever signed. How you doing, everybody? Double, 2-1 Sox lead. It was like, bam, bam, bam. Oh, by the way, Sheehan, you're out of the game. You're out of the game. And then no relief was offered by Jack Dwyer. He comes in immediately, calls Montgomery, hammers a pitch, right? Yeah.
And then it's Braden Montgomery right behind him, another base hit. It was five straight batters, five straight hits off two different pitchers. All those hits over 100 miles per hour on the exit velo. Oh, man. And then, and then, Chase Mydroth, to your mention. Final blow. Six straight batters, six straight hits. What was a 1-0 Dodgers lead becomes a 6-1 White Sox lead.
That is what I'm talking about when I say mob violence. And I'm going to put full context. I was texting Grody, and Grody thought I was high. He was like, you're crazy.
Are you okay?
No, no, I asked him if he was day drinking. Yeah, I was not day drinking. I was on my couch, comfortable. Because here's what I realized watching. Because I got the double vision. The best thing ever is that this game was simulcast on WCIU. And then the Cubs were on ABC. You were smiling. I could hit the multi-view. And on the multi-view, I've got equal screens.
I'm toggling back and forth in the audio. And I realized something. The Cubs can hit you with their offense, but it feels like when you're getting bullied by a bunch of kids as an elementary schooler, they might hit you in the face a couple times, give you a black eye, but that's the worst they can do. Meanwhile, when the White Sox come for you, It's like the purge.

Chapter 5: What will Tiago Splitter bring to the Chicago Bulls as their new head coach?
From what I understand, if the Bulls were to come to Tiago with an offer, he was going to leap at that. Because I think we all know the reporting that's out there about the Blazers situation. Tom Dundon, their new owner, just won a title yesterday in the NHL. And so they had paused their search. But the reporting that was out there was that they were kind of...
low-balling coaching candidates and why I don't think this was entirely tied to that. Like, I do think there was a sort of sense of value in question in the job he did, not on ownership, but, like, that kind of comes with when you turn the conversation to, like, money. And I don't think that's what it's about for Tiago.
I think it was about confidence and being granted an opportunity, like you said. And this is, like... For as much as this team has been rooted in nostalgia and selling nostalgia, with this new regime, the more people I talk to, it seems like the dark cloud that was over the team
for the past five years and really for the past 30 years, I guess, people are starting to see some sunlight with Bryson Graham and the people they're putting in place.
Chapter 6: How did the Bulls' coaching situation impact their future?
And obviously it has to play out. They have to draft well. They have to get this thing rolling. But, like, I think that was part of Tiago's decision-making, right, is that he saw where this was going. And obviously he wanted to be a head coach, but I think he saw where this was going. I think it is a good opportunity for him.
Joel Lorenzi from The Athletic joining us to talk about the Bulls and the NBA at large. Hey, that draft is coming up in eight days.
Chapter 7: What are the expectations for the Bulls' draft strategy?
How confident are you that it's going to be love that's there for them at the four spot? What are your thoughts? I said love. I meant Wilson. Wilson, yeah. Yeah, Caleb Wilson is the name. I called him Caleb Williams earlier, so that's going to happen. Caleb! Caleb!
Joel. I'd like to think he'd be there. I'm about 60% sure right now. But then again, I think the one thing I've settled on is I think we know... the consensus for at this point, right? I think the thing is, though, the order of it is, like, nowhere near a consensus at this point. Like, that's kind of the sense I've gotten.
Chapter 8: How does the Knicks' playoff success compare to the Bulls' current situation?
And now this could all be overblown. We could be doing, like, you know, the whole draft thing where people send smoke signals or, like, you know, I remember the one-year draft The Apollo Chet draft where Jabari Smith for months was supposed to be the number one pick. I don't think this is going to go down like that. I think A.J. the Bass is a pretty surefire number one pick to me.
But like that order is still up in the air. Like maybe Memphis likes Caleb. But I'm about 60 percent sure that he'll be there for the Bulls at this point. But then again, who am I?
You're Joel Lorenzi, damn it. You're an NBA writer for The Athletic. You cover the Chicago Bulls, and we appreciate you joining us. Have you heard anything, anything about a potential press conference later today or tomorrow, or is that not leaked yet?
Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday is what I've heard.
Okay. See, you're Joel Lorenzi, the man with the answers. Strong finish, Joel. Thanks, man. Thank you, guys. Appreciate you, Joel. Yeah, that is Joel Lorenzi. Okay. Wednesday will be yet another introduction day here in Chicago. And if time holds true, it'll be right here on Rahimi Harris and Grody. That's usually how that goes. Amen.
A couple of follow-up text messages from me bringing up Tyrus Thomas as the quintessential example of a bust. If Caleb Wilson is to be a bust, it's going to look like Tyrus Thomas, who had all the athleticism in the world. So from the 414, two different sides here. 414, 100% when I hear untapped potential and freakish athlete, I default to Tyrus Thomas and get queasy.
And then the next text from the 574 says, Grody, you lost two bulls during that segment. Yep, I accept that. Wow. I was cool in that segment. I was. I was bringing it right down to the ground with all my negative Tyrus Thomas talk and bringing up Jim Boylan. I am sorry. I am sorry, okay? I am not a perfect person. I will tell you this, though.
Coming up next, we will continue to talk about the new Bulls head coaching hire in Tiago Splitter. It will be part of our Five On It segment, which is next here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody on The Score.
It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. Number one.
