Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.
Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: 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. shrimp yes shrimp and i looked at leila and i said i don't believe you guys ray you can back me up on this tyler uh baby t in the house here today tyler of the farangals is here i i accused leila of making something up and i'll be damned if she was not making something up
Yeah, if there's one thing I know, it's that sometimes my bald knowledge will be dismissed. But what you didn't expect was MLB.com.
Boom!
Not just any old website here. This is a DJbooth.net or Illinois Mushroom or whatever that was called that we looked up that one day.
A mushroom is a hit-by-pitch walk-off.

Chapter 5: How did Seiya Suzuki's play impact the game?
Yeah, I mean, we've got to come up with more names. This is MLB.com, April 12, 2020, the Internet Slaying Baseball Dictionary. I know it was six years ago, but I still call a walk-off walk shrimp. That's a thing?
And what is the reason for it?
You're just looking at me like I'm not even speaking English.
I know. This is just... I saw you put it in the text thread last night. I saw you put in capital letters. Shrimp. Shrimp, like we were all supposed to know. I guess I'm not as hipster as I thought I was.
I don't know that it's hipster. This is six years old. Oh, okay.

Chapter 6: What were the managerial decisions during the game?
Shrimp alert. Used to celebrate a walk-off walk. This is usually accompanied by a gif of a shrimp in a tank running on a treadmill and or the shrimp emoji. There is even a Twitter account that is solely dedicated to the shrimp. I don't know that that Twitter account is active anymore. Oh, at shrimp alert. Its last tweet was on the 9-19-23. But there is an actual video of a shrimp on a treadmill.
Why the shrimp is on a treadmill, I don't know. But it represents us all.
So eight straight wins, 14 straight wins at Wrigley Field, three straight walk-offs, and a shrimp. That's what your order is. Pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp.
I do enjoy shrimp, so I'm cool with it, whether it be the food kind, which is great during Lent on a Friday, by the way, or just any time, and then also the baseball kind.
shrimp scampi or shrimp cocktail if you had to choose right this second cocktail yeah pretty good man yeah yeah that's always a good and get your own right don't share it because it's only like four shrimp right yeah i mean i share because sharing is caring and if you have to get another one i guess you just get another that's true they're usually like 30 bucks though

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Cubs' current winning streak?
Everything is expensive.
Everything's about $30 to start. That's like a baseline for everything. You're right, like minimum $30 for that item.
City living. But nice to see the shrimp last night. And then I didn't mean to bears the Cubs, but it's kind of hard not to. In fact, on our group thread last night, Baby T is here, Tyler Ferengel. And I was like, Baby T, assignment time. How many of these Caleb-like comebacks have the Cubs had since Caleb was at the game?
And?
That was last Friday, right? Last Friday. But it was only the Reds. Only the Reds.

Chapter 8: How do the Cubs' performances compare to past seasons?
Only the Reds. Only the Reds.
Only the one and only Cincinnati. Wow, this is not working.
But to be fair, the Cubs have won six in a row since Caleb Williams was at the game. Coincidence? 75% of the Cubs' current win streak. Wow. He was wearing a Misfits hoodie, the band Misfits. And Modest Bozellas had the Fleece Cubs blanket on as a cape.
I was thinking about Modest Bozellas. There's a vulnerability there to the club, to the Caleb Club, the way Bryson Graham was talking yesterday. Everybody must go, it sounds like. It doesn't sound like he's attached to Modest Bozellas or Josh Giddey or anybody.
So, you know there's an acronym with Bryson Graham, SLAPPY.
SLAPPY.
No.
Oh, slap. Just slap. There's no why?
It is size, athleticism, length, and physicality. Oh, okay. Phil. Yeah, I thought Phil was the P. I always miss the P. I got it. Phil Jackson? Like, who's the Phil? It could be Phil Jackson. It's an ode to Phil. And Phil Jackson. Since Bryson Graham does love the Bulls. So then Marshall's like, well, who's the Bulls point guard?
