What are the initial thoughts on the Cubs' recent performance?
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.
Mike Forio, our weekly guest.
Mike, we don't keep secrets on this show. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody. You need to reveal everything you know. What do you know about the Bears? You know something, sir. Give us answers now.
The Bears will play 17 games this year.
Nine at home, eight on the road. I'd rather not talk about this. No, I don't mean to. Are you teasing me?
No, no, no, no, no. He's not teasing you. It's just that... If it's personal, I don't want to pry, but I just think it's cool.
A lot of people are speculating about Seahawks and Bears to open the season.
It's down to four possibilities because there were nine home opponents for the Seahawks. Five of them are already spoken for based upon games that we know have been announced. That leaves four teams. Chargers, Cardinals, Patriots, and Bears. So, 25% chance. as to whether or not it will be the Chicago ban. Well, now we're getting somewhere. And 100% chance as to whether I know the truth and just won't. You tricked me. See? Here we are again. Here we are again. 100% chance as to whether you know the truth or 100% chance that you do know the truth and you just can't tell us. I do know the truth and I can't tell you. We're going to get you. We're going to break you. We are going to break you by the end of this segment.
I don't think I should say anything else until I talk to a lawyer. I think we better forget about the lawyer crap tonight.
I'm not the guy that you kill.
I'm the guy that you buy. Are you so blind you don't even see what I am? I'm the easiest part of your whole problem and you're going to kill me? Don't you know who I am? I'm a fixer.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
We are happy to join you live from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Performance Studio in front of a live studio audience. This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 104.3 The Score. And we've got a lot of people wearing their Cubs gear today in our studio. We even have, yes, an Alex Brown jersey in the house. But unfortunately... The Cubs fans here today did not get to see a win yet against the Atlanta Braves. Cubs fall 4-1. They are now 27-16 on the season. The Braves just continue to look like a buzzsaw. Poor Shota Imanaga did his best. Seven innings, only two earned runs, not a walk to his name yesterday, six strikeouts, and unfortunately the one Shota home run because that happens. But he's not the problem here.
Once again, I think it comes back to the Cubs' lack of offense. One hit is not great. That was the first game of the series. Four hits is not great either. Two of them belonging to Alex Bregman. But once again, the Cubs just couldn't play enough runners to get past Atlanta.
The number that stands out, and this has been true during this four-game losing streak, is just the number of hits with runners in scoring position. And that is very few far between. Last night, one for eight in that category. And you put up one run of support for Shota Imanaga. And this is a guy, I told you, he's the stopper. I was very confident in him. I should have been more worried about the Cubs making use of their opportunities when it comes to offense. I know Mark Grody called for a sweep. of this series. And guess what? There's probably going to be a sweep in this series. It's just not going to go the Cubs way because that offense looks lost right now from top to bottom. It's not like I'm singling out one person in the Cubs lineup who's not getting it done.
No one is effectively getting it done right now. But to show them an August credit, he's out here doing his job. You look at what he's done this season. It's been a bright spot. He's 4-3.
