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, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
Since April 21st, 15-game stretch, PCA is batting .375. His chase rate, as we know, is something he will have to manage. Last year, his chase rate was 41% on strikes outside of the zone. This year, that's up to 43%.
So that's improvement.
PCA talked a lot to Pat McAfee about how he manages that aggression in the plate discipline.
You know, I think the play discipline was actually a little bit better, like I would say a little over a week ago and before that. But, you know, when I start feeling sexier and I do start putting more balls in play, more balls in the air to the pull side, like I do end up swinging more, so I'm inevitably going to chase more.
And that's just, I think that just, that's something I got to accept about myself. Vibes. Yeah, man. When I start feeling sexier.
That is a thing. You will have batters feel sexy at the plate. Frank Thomas always talked about that on White Sox pre- and post-game.
I believe that used to come up with Joe Maddon and the 2016 Cubs and Javier Baez and whatnot.

Chapter 2: What are the Cubs' recent performance highlights?
Yeah, you got to feel good. You got to feel sexy. When Joe got here, that's one of the first things he said. You know, if you feel sexy where? Hey, Case, you know what's so sexy about you? I was like, what? I'm too sexy.
Everybody stops.
I'm sexy and I know it. Is it too sexy?
It's too something.

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts share about PCA's batting techniques?
Unbelievable, Tyler Butera. Unbelievable open. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on a Friday. On 104.3, the score, Mark Grody is in today, and you're already in Friday mode.
I am, and I'm already being challenged. Now, this is twice this week. When I worked earlier this week with Russell Dorsey filling in for Spiegel and Holmes, we had texture saying, Grody, don't be such a... bleep. Just make the prediction. Go ahead. Say it. The Cubs are going to win the division. I'm not doing it. I'm just saying I've got people, I've got a lot of pressure on me right now.
You don't actually. You didn't even have to bring it up at all. You're bringing it up because it's in your brain and you can't.
No, because of texters.
There's a texter. You're the worst liar ever.
That said, go ahead and make the prediction. And I said, I text back to the person. I said, don't tempt me. I don't want to hurt Cubs Nation yet.
so we also got a text 615 with grody rolling as he's wanted to do this is going to be a great show for everyone who's not leila and then i was like why i love grody and then i thought about it for a half a second and i replied going i mean i maybe we may be an hour late to our breaks but shruggy it's that kind of day friday friday and you know what the cubs stayed hot they stayed sexy and they know it
super that may have been the sexiest win as sexy as the dramatics were i'll tell you what never goes out of style a seven run fourth inning lmfao they kind of went out of style that's true you know what that was a happier time i went to the lmfao and kesha concert back when we had hope as a nation and glitter it was fun kesha it's not fun anymore
On my list for one of the great... I think we did that on one of our topics. Great pump-up songs, great workout songs.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts evaluate the Cubs' chances in the division?
I hope that was the happiest flight ever.
Oh, my God.
After the ball game yesterday.
Yeah, they get to go to play out in Texas tonight. Ben Brown will start. We'll talk about that a little bit later on.
Ben Johnson will also make an appearance on the show. Yes, he will. We'll bring you his comments from rookie minicamp today.
Hell yeah, Bears! um i love this text too by the way 312-644-6767 if you want to party with us today 815 grody and i think that this i'm reading this because i think this probably goes to a lot of people i can't be alone in this grody why don't you go ahead and apologize to shoda first as in before you make predictions
Every time he starts, I say it's the Shota Imanaga. I owe him an apology to her every time. Yes, you do.
Yes, we all do. Yes, I am sorry, Shota. I didn't think you were going to be good. I thought he was done. I thought he was cooked based on what I saw last year. That's right. I said it. I didn't think he was going to be good. I didn't even want him in this rotation.
To be fair, did he think he was good?

Chapter 5: What humorous situation involving Mark Carman is shared?
Like, what? What's the address?
If Bob was to walk into the bank, would he be in the full Pope regale, do you think? Like doing the whole thing? Does the hat fit in the doorway?
Okay, so 312 says, how do you know it was a woman who hung up on him? Well, I think the Pope told the story to Mr. McCarthy, which is why it got told in that manner. Ah, okay. Yes. Oh, yeah. And 574 wants to know, were you kind of shaking your head at God there, Gertie?
Just Dante Foreman.
Which is a reference.
Yes. Were you kind of shaking your head at God?

Chapter 6: What insights are shared about Bears coach Ben Johnson?
I did ask that to the Bears running back because he was talking about God a lot. So I wanted to get down in his God talk in the best way I could. It's been a good year for the Lord. It has. I noticed that during the draft. All the players were genuinely thanking the Lord. I'm like, this is a good night for the Lord. You see the billboards and stuff?
If you're having a bad day, Lord, it's a good year for the Lord. It's okay.
I was just going to let you cook there. I didn't know where to go. Usually I'm relying on him for things selfishly. I mean, there's gratitude expressed, but you know.
Yeah, we depend on it. It's okay. Indeed. Seems like a good guy.
Amen.
Lord.
Five audit is next. All right.

Chapter 7: What are the Cubs' current standings and prospects?
I got five on it. Number one. The Cubs are really hot, and we're going to get to them in a little bit, but we got some Bears business to take care of today. This segment is brought to you by AlmostFreeTeeth.com. Save on dental implants today. Here's question number one.
How hot are they?
Red hot.
But we're getting to them. They're so hot. You're supposed to.
Oh, we'll do that. Come on, Ray. Before question two, we're going to do it. We're going to workshop the question. But here's question number one. What was your biggest takeaway from Bears coach Ben Johnson's rookie minicamp press conference?
He wishes Zay Frazier well in his future endeavors. It was probably the thought process behind Sam Roush, but here's the best part. I don't even necessarily know that we needed the explanation. To watch Ben's offense is to know him. So it made perfect sense as to why they wanted Sam Rauch.
I just said to myself, self, I'm not quite sure in the draft equation that third round pick replaces Durham Smythe. But then again, I don't know the ceiling on this offense. I don't know how far it can fly. So maybe Ben does. And then he sees this as a piece that can take it flying farther and farther into the sky and the reaches.
To the reaches.
Yes. I don't even know what that means.

Chapter 8: How does the discussion pivot to potential trades involving Freddy Peralta?
But you see what I'm saying.
I do. I do see what you're saying. And yeah, it is still okay to look at Sam Rauch and be like, third round?
Really? Third round?
You get your third tight end? It's still.
The math doesn't math to me. As one who likes logic and order and sense making.
Yeah.
I'm like, I don't know. This seems awfully far to fly. It seems real far.
That said, I stand by what I said. Do, do, do. Yeah. That Dylan Thienemann and Sam Rauch are the only guys who are exact in this rookie class because I pretty much get a good idea of what they can do and how they can contribute. The rest of them, I don't know. That said, my biggest takeaway from what Ben Johnson said today pertained to Logan Jones, and that is...
The question, Logan Jones, ladies and gentlemen, he is the second round center out of Iowa who right now lines up behind Garrett Bradbury on the depth chart. But does he? Does he? And today Ben Johnson was asked about what it's going to take for Logan Jones to get on the field. And he said, this is just the beginning, ladies and gentlemen, time will tell. Ball is in his court.
