Rahimi Harrison 0:00

It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score.

0:09

I got five on it.

Mark Grody 0:10

Number one, what was your favorite part of the Cubs 11 to win over the Tigers last night?

Vinny Rotino 0:15

It was the fact that people are strong out on base five times like that. That's how you do it. Right. If you're going to if you're going to lay the wood to another team, your leadoff hitter had better get to work.

What were the highlights from the Cubs 11-2 win over the Tigers?

Vinny Rotino 0:25

And that's exactly what happened. Also, everybody keeps talking about PCA's catch in the outfield. He had two. He had two incredible catches. Yes, the timing where there was a threat to score. Savali was on the mound and he ran into the ball at the perfect timing. Just knows how to play with the Ivy now. That was incredible and great. And I thought to myself, and that's why they extended him. But there was also another play where the ball was falling to his right. If you're watching it, your left into short center field. And he had to like get on his toes and then go straight up and then lay out to make the catch. And that I thought was pretty damn incredible. So not only did Pete Crow Armstrong get on base ad nauseum, three walks, two hits, just doing the job, he was also able to make some incredible catches too.

Vinny Rotino 1:13

When in a game like that, they might have fallen by the wayside.

Marshall Harris 1:18

PCA is a good call. I enjoyed that. But my favorite part of the game last night? I think my favorite part of the game was watching Alex Bregman say, yeah, man, I need a three-game hitting streak. There's a position player on the mound. Cool. Base knock. And the reason why that's such a big deal to me is, I don't know, they need that man to heat up. The Cubs are 5-2 in their last seven games. Alex Bregman has three home runs in their last seven games. He's now batting .310 over the last seven games. His on-base percentage is now .394 over his last seven games. He's slugging .655 over his last seven games. The man has an OPS over 1,000 over his last seven games. More of the same, Alex Bregman. Just keep it coming.

Mark Grote 2:09

Love that. I love seeing Justin Dean in the game. 0 for 1. No, that's not my answer. But it was cool to see Justin Dean. I feel like that's the first time you've seen Justin Dean the way you've been talking about Justin Dean. It is the first time I've seen Justin Dean.

Vinny Rotino 2:21

I think it was the first time for a lot of people.

Mark Grote 2:23

Yeah. It's like Derek Hill. That Derek guy. Now it's that Justin guy.

Vinny Rotino 2:26

Well, he's not that Derek guy in Philly. He seems to be doing fairly well for himself.

Mark Grote 2:30

Yeah. Yeah. I'll go. You know what I'll go? I'm going to go David Peterson because all he had to do was... Nine-foot-tall David Peterson. Nine-foot-tall David Peterson. All he had to do was loop a fiasco. All he had to do was coast. And that's essentially what... And away we go. And away we go. Kick, push, coast. That's what Tommy Haddaby told him. He said, kick, push, coast. And he did that because we all know that that was the key. After that first inning, you knew it was over, assuming there was no funny stuff. from peterson and there was no funny stuff from peterson the funny stuff came from the detroit bullpen if you want to call it that but david peterson six and two-thirds did not allow a run three hits four strikeouts one walk he got you 94 pitches an honorable mention to aaron savalle who comes in and finishes it up two and a third he did allow a couple of runs welcome back welcome back welcome back welcome back i just want to let you know grody uh justin dean is currently batting

Marshall Harris 3:24

333, and also OPSing over 1,000 during his brief Cubs tenure.

Vinny Rotino 3:30

Look at him go.

Mark Grote 3:31

Well, then I take it back. That is my answer. Justin Bean. Never mind.

Vinny Rotino 3:36

David Peterson did a good job.

Mark Grote 3:38

He did. Somebody had to give him a little credit, and I did.

Vinny Rotino 3:41

Nine-foot-tall David Peterson. He's going to be the new five for the Bulls at some point. I'm kidding.

Rahimi Harrison 3:49

It's a kid. Number two, Bulls.

Mark Grody 3:51

Kyle Teal has been ruled out for six to 12 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Here's the question. Will Teal be back before the end of the regular season?

Marshall Harris 4:03

I'm hoping and I'm praying, but it's more praying than hoping.
