What was the outcome of the Cubs vs. Reds game?
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. On this Thursday, we are getting you ready for a day game, the finale of the Cubs and Reds series. How are they going to win today? Shoda! It's showtime! Walk off bulk? Like, what's next, people? That's the voice of Mark Grody, and I think, Mark, we have to pick up where we left off yesterday, not just with Michael Reinsdorf, where I thought that that was great, by the way, introducing Bryson Graham, but also with, yet again, no lead is safe. And Bears. Bears. My Cubs games are starting to feel like the Bears games, which are starting to feel like the Cubs games, which are starting to feel like the Bears games. And I don't know that I can take this. There's 162 of these.
I think the difference is, and I love the analogy, the only difference to me is... Because it was a revelation this year with Caleb Williams, I know the Cubs are coming back in these games.
How did the Cubs manage their come-from-behind win?
I don't know for sure during the Bears season that they're going to come back and have that singular magic in every single game or a lot of games. And the Bears did. But I knew last night that the Cubs were going to come back and eventually win that game. It's getting harder and harder to know that, but I knew that last night again. It's showtime. It's showtime at Wrigley Field. I hope people are getting down with this.
Yeah, again, I'm going to keep saying it. I think it was after the game against the Pirates, Mark, when we were in Vegas, where I was like, Shota, I owe you an apology. You're just going out here and shoving. And then he had one bloop, like one blip on the radar against the Dodgers. And then things have come back to what he has had, which is normal so far to start the season. So yet again, Shota, I was at your last start at Wrigley on Saturday. Make me tell you I'm sorry again, because my goodness, that was such an excellent performance he had to help his team win a 2-0 ball game against the Diamondbacks. Go out and do it again.
What role did Caleb Williams play in the Cubs' recent success?
Seven shutout innings in that contest. Shota enters today with a 240 ERA. His counterpart today, because we're all greedy right now, man. We're all looking for the ninth straight win overall. The 15th straight win at Wrigley Field.
But are you, or at this point, are you like driving the, are you like Seinfeld where they're driving the car on empty and you're like, yeah, maybe not. If they lose, is it okay today?
It's of course it's okay, but I do feel this sense of, again, I'll say it again. I've been saying this since 2015, a sense of entitlement. It's okay. Get greedy. Go after Rhett Louder today, who has an ERA above five. And of course our program director, Ryan Parth, who is a Reds fan, couldn't be more negative and cynical about his ball club, who he fully expects to be swept in four games by the Chicago baseball team today.
Yeah, we had suffering talk this morning at our pre-show meeting.
What is the significance of the walk-off walk in baseball?
My apartment faces east, and they have the heat on, and it's 44 degrees outside, and yet somehow 82 in my apartment, and I have the heat off in my personal apartment. a built-in steam room you should take advantage of that just sit there and sweat man it sucks so bad and and i have the window open i'm doing all the things because i only have one window and that's kind of the problem here so uh before you give me the unsolicited advice trust me i've tried and then ryan's like or you could have the reds worst pitcher on the mound today and i'm like these are your choices Be a Reds fan or have it be 82 degrees because your apartment faces east and your building has the heat on and it's 90 degrees in the hallway.
I need you to explain something to me that you brought up the end of our meeting yesterday. The Cubs win last night, 7-6 over the Reds in 10 innings, if you don't know. Michael Bush with the walk-off walk. One of the best Cubs walk-off walks since Todd Walker against the White Sox on, I believe, a Sunday night back in the day when Todd Walker was roaming Wrigley Field. But you said that there is a name for a walk-off win, and you said that that name is Shaq.
