Chapter 1: What humorous disclaimers are made at the beginning of the show?
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, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
Russ, as if Cubs and Brewers wasn't enough, we have the story that has become national regarding Peeker Armstrong and the White Sox fan. This has seemed to become a story that a lot of people want to discuss. Look, when you have fans that talk about players' family and children and I've heard things like, I hope you die and all these other crazy things. Yeah, that's one, too far.
And two, yes, that's when you should get a person removed. Get the heck out of here. When you... cross that line and we are all adults and know what those lines are no see that's where i disagree russ really is that i think you have death is always the line well that's and children in my say that's past a lot well past the line that's what you're saying yeah what i'm saying is I have my line.
You have your line. And if our lines aren't on top of each other, we have different lines. And now I'm saying something that you find to be fighting words. And you're like, oh, I thought we were just playing. I thought we were just joking. Yeah, like if you say something that I find offensive and then I invite you to my privates. That's what she said.

Chapter 2: What recent Cubs game highlights are discussed?
That's my joke. Damn it, Dwight. The first thing I thought of when you just said that was Veronica Corningstone in Anchorman. Are you saying there's a party in your pants and I'm invited? Oh my gosh. That's the first thing I thought of. Veronica.
Yes, what is it, Brick?
I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.
Excuse me?
The party. The pants with the pants. Party with pants.
Brick, are you saying that there's a party in your pants and that I'm invited?
That's it.
Did Brian tell you to say this, Brick?
There was a baseball game last night, by the way. And it did not go well for the Cubs. I don't want to talk about that either. I'd be more comfortable talking about that. I said we'd be back with a little more, and that's the end of our broadcast for tonight. Well, that took some twists and turns now, didn't it? This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.

Chapter 3: How are the Cubs' recent struggles analyzed?
But here he is dropping a fly ball and it certainly seemed like it might be an issue for him after the game yesterday. He dropped the ball! That was so random because I had to do a double take. Because I'm so not used to, like, that doesn't even make sense to me. How could he drop a ball? Did you hear Boog's reaction? What? What? What happened? Well, I'm saying it's not just because it's PCA.
It's because a major league outfielder makes that play. That wasn't like a difficult play by any stretch of the imagination. It was very standard. Even PCA almost like, wait, the ball's not in my glove? I mean, E8 doesn't happen on this team. Does not. They don't pay him for E8. The bat, that's a different story. But they pay him to have that lockdown defense in center field.
Freelink drills that one out towards right center field. And PCA. Oh, my goodness. It's off his glove. And Freelink into second. I'm not sure what happened there, J.D.
I might have a little tail on it, but they had to make a little bit of an adjustment. And then he just flanked it. It wasn't in the best position to make that play, but...
Critical two-base error. Oh, my goodness. Boog's right. Like, something must have happened for Pete. No, Pete just dropped the ball. It was a bad play by Pete Crow Armstrong. I mean, metaphorically and unfortunately, obviously. You know, that's what happened. Yeah, Brant Brown pulled it. Game isn't won or lost on the one play, but it is a sign of what's going on with this team.
You feel like it's a microcosm of just the way things have gone over the last 10 games? I just think when you're a team like this, and payroll is part of it. You spend $488 million in the offseason. And in theory, that means that when one guy's slumping, another guy picks him up. That your offense doesn't act as one.
that one hitter doesn't determine whether or not another bats well in the lineup that day. That's what you want. But that's just not what we've seen over these past streaks. And I think it's worth listening to Ian Happ after the game yesterday because he did give perspective when it came to the Cubs' overall record. No, I think every year has periods like that.
I do think that, you know, if we had the same record we had today, but we just won every single series, it would feel a bit different, a little bit more consistent. And, you know, there's... pros and cons to, you know, winning 10 straight twice and, you know, having the record we have.
But I think when you reflect on the whole thing, you know, we're whatever it is, 12 games over 500 or something like that and sitting in a good spot. If you would have told us this was going to be our record at this point in the season, I think everybody would have signed up for it. So move on from here and attack tomorrow. The issue is the way we've consumed the Cubs early in the season.

Chapter 4: What lineup changes are suggested for the Cubs moving forward?
It'll be great. I'm excited. Are you mad? What's going on? You mad, bro? Yeah. What's up? I was kidding. I was kidding. No, I was, I was a hundred percent. I still have to do an hour of TV and then I get on a plane and fly to Chicago tonight. I know you look nice. You look very much. Danny is well-dressed. You can see him on twitch.tv slash the score. Chicago.
Robbie Triano did a lovely job of dressing you today. Yeah. Yeah. He helps me put the pants through the holes in the pants, the legs through the pants. He clipped your tie on for you? Yeah, exactly. And then I go sit in the Robbie Trigano makeup chair. Not the clipped tie, though. That's a bridge too far, Grody. No, Danny. It's not a clip-on, but I don't tie it myself. Of course not.
That would be embarrassing. Yeah. The day I put my own tie on. I'm sorry, Danny. There will be no tie tomorrow. And I do know that, you know, usually people put their pants on one leg at a time, except for you when you're helped by Robbie Triano in the process. I just jump in. I just jump in. Two feet at one time saves time. You know, I'm a busy guy. I can't be going one leg at a time.
Danny, we were kind of pumped up today. Ryan Porth presented us with a lot that's going on in the Radiothon. Marshall and Layla will be in the midday. Honestly, I am, Danny. I'm very much looking forward to our annual 6 to midnight hang. How excited are you, and what would you like to share about the upcoming Radiothon? Well, I'm very excited, as always. Yeah, Layla's holding up the shirts.
Yeah, polos, man. I haven't even seen them yet. I'm going to overwear that shirt starting tomorrow. Well, I mean, I think it's the first shirt you've ever owned with a collar. Boom, that's a dynamite. That'll be big for you. That's the secondary charity. The first cause is cancer research and brain up, and the second is getting a new piece of wardrobe every year for Mark Grody.
But, Grody, we can take the one shot off for a second. I'll get the plug in for the one shot for social in a second. But, Grody, everyone's asking, like, what are we doing during the time slot, right? So, like, Lawrence and Speedy. They know the rough run of show for 2-6. Mully knows the rough run of show for tomorrow morning. Now Layla and Marshall got that information today.
Ray has been involved for a while. I'm not telling you. That's probably the move. No, seriously, that is the right approach for Mark Gurdy. What? Why? You know why? Because you're a radio guy at your core who's just going to yes and and have fun and go along. Listen, there's going to be some doctors on during your time. I'm not expecting you to do much.
I already told him, do not ask people if they switched the samples. Don't do it. There's going to be some patients with terminal diagnoses. You're going to be able to be respectful. I know that you can handle that. And then there's going to be some fun and some nonsense and some surprise sports guests and call-ins and the whole thing. And you just be you, buddy.
Everybody else gets the rundown ahead of time. You find out when you sit in the chair. Danny, give me the one shot. Danny, I just want to be your comfort. I told them. I literally said this. I said, Danny wants me for the hang. We're just going to hang. I will be whatever I need to be. I will be your comfort pet. Whatever you want, man. We've done this a few years.

Chapter 5: What are Ben Brown's recent pitching performances?
I know what Ben Brown is working on. He's trying to throw more pitches every time he goes out to start. And he did that. He threw 82 pitches. 56 of them were for strikes. He gave up three earned runs over five innings. That's fine. Seven hits, a little high, two free passes and six strikeouts. But the point is Ben Brown is working on things and that he did.
And the first inning did not get to him, which I thought was pretty valuable in all of this. So that was nice to see. So Ben Brown did his part, especially in the inning that he considers a bugaboo. So when you consider that part of it, Ben Brown deserved better. But unfortunately, two runs of run support will not get the job done against ye brewers.
When Bryce Terang is three of four with two RBIs and a balk and two runs scored and just a very Bryce Terang-y, annoy-me line, Ben Brown was not as much of a problem as the entirety of the damn thing. Terang! I'll say this. I mean, I don't think he deserves an award for what he did last night. Even if it is a he deserved better award. I mean, he gave up three runs.
It's not like the dude even had a quality start. He's been very good for the Cubs. In fact, he had given up one hit combined over his previous two starts. Now, neither of those starts went more than four innings because, as you mentioned, Layla, he was getting stretched out. But to give up three runs on seven hits over five innings, he deserved what he got, which is a loss.
And if you can escape that with a no decision, that just means your offense was good enough to bail you out. But taking the L in a game like this against a team that is now in the division lead... I don't think he deserved any better. I think he got what he got. He got what he deserved. Believe it or not, even though this is, I guess, my award, I'm kind of with you.
He was not as crisp as he had been.

Chapter 6: How did the Cubs' offense impact Ben Brown's game?
However, yeah, that first inning, as painful as it was that he gave up the 21 pitches, minimal damage. The inning in which Pete Crow Armstrong dropped the ball. There were still two men on. That was masterful to wiggle out of that and to have only given up three runs considering some of the traffic that he had. And I kind of hate saying this because it's so trite and cliche, but he did.
He battled. He battled out there and he kept it. He kept it within distance for the Cubs. He did. Cubs should have, especially since Mizorowski was out of there after six innings, the Cubs offense should have had his back at some point in time, and they didn't. So I will say, on the overall, in conclusion, he probably deserved a little better. How about that? Is that allowed?
A little better is better, so you're saying he deserved the award. A little better, because he kind of, like, he was battling it out there, man. He did not match his energy. Like, he only let one run go in the first, you know? Right, right, which was pretty amazing. Then he came back with a 1-2-3 inning that was pretty dominating. Mm-hmm.
It's kind of the Anthony Kaye and Ben Brown thing with Cubs and White Sox going back and forth, man.
Chapter 7: What are the Cubs' current struggles and injury updates?
He is no Anthony Kaye. Anthony Kaye gave up one hit. Take it easy over there. Hey, before these last three starts, tell me about Anthony Kaye. You need to relax over there. I'll tell you about Anthony Kaye before these last three starts. In the start before that, he was also good. But Anthony Kaye was even Steven for a second. Even Steven, that's fine.
But I'm just saying, Ben Brown was great in his previous two starts. Give me that last night. They both whittled out of bed trouble last night in the first inning. And then Anthony Kaye gave up no more runs while Ben Brown gave up more runs. Yeah, he did. He did, but it's the Brewers. It's the Brewers. That's fair. I get you. The Seattle Mariners don't even have Cal Raleigh.
He's on the injured list. Also, it doesn't have to be a comparison between the White Sox and the Cubs every single time, especially lately because Cubs fans won't like how that goes. You trigger me.
Chapter 8: What insights does Jed Hoyer provide about the Cubs' future?
I don't know what it is. Why were all those people, the fans in Seattle, the section with all their shirts off?
You're not familiar?
No, I don't know what that is. It is a viral sensation that has taken over major league ballparks across the country. Shame on me for being behind on that. It's a bunch of dudes with their shirts off, and they all get together in one section. Mark's thinking, that's just another day at Wrigley in July. Have they been doing it at Wrigley?
The only time I thought a shirt off at a ballpark was egregious, and it wasn't even egregious, it was just hilarious in contrast, was right when fans were allowed to be back into ballparks. There was this guy, like an older man, probably in his 60s, sitting in the nice, expensive seats at PNC Park. The nice ones, just right behind home plate, lounging, completely shirtless. Oh, yeah.
Do you remember that guy? I do remember that. It was a Cubs Pirates day game. I don't know why this is getting to me. Until you said 60s, I thought you were talking about Clay Harbor when you're an older man, shirt off. I don't know if you've ever been to a game with Clay Harbor, but when he gets to the bleachers at Wrigley, that shirt's coming off. Seriously? Clay is tarp off?
Clay is the tarp off. If you're working with what Clay's working with, you definitely want to take your shirt off when the opportunity arises. This guy was not. That's what made the unabashed confidence in the expensive seats so amusing. Was that question two we just did? No. We made up our own agenda. My bad. That was 1A. Baseball game, tarp on or off? I'm tarp on, guys. I'm sorry.
You're a tarp on girl. You always have that. Yeah, yeah. Number two. Thank you, Ray. It's going to be a shirtless bro summer, bro. Tell you, bro. What's up, bro? All right, question number two.
What are you looking forward to hearing Cubs president of baseball operations, Jed Hoyer, address when he joins the show coming up at 1 o'clock?
I don't think he's going to answer it this way, and I shouldn't ask it this way, but just know what is the biggest problem for your team right now that you need to fix? Right now. Or do you think there's a problem at all? And I feel like that's it. If you are triaging this boo-boo that the Cubs have right now, what do you fix first? How do you fix it? So I think that that is my first question.
