Number one.
Who stood out in the Cubs’ 7-3 win over the Cardinals and why was Alex Bregman highlighted?
Who impressed you the most in the Cubs' 7-3 win over the Cardinals?
Well, as I said, I really liked that Ian Happ decided to seek and destroy base runners. I just always thought it would be cool to be a part of an outfield assist of some sort. Like, I don't know. I like feats of strength. I think it's really neat. I really don't know how to describe this. It's just one of those baseball things that I enjoy. I enjoy when outfielders catch base runners sleeping, too. That always makes me laugh. Mark Kotze taught me that. He would always get so happy. It was like an evil Jabba the Hutt laugh afterward. But for me, I think it continues to be David Peterson. Like, you have been asked to do a job, and you went out there and did the job you did. Goes five and two-thirds, gives up just two earned runs, only three hits total, two walks, three strikeouts.
And really, I think needed a little bit of redemption, maybe for himself or maybe just me watching, after he was part of that 17-run extravaganza by the Cardinals the last time he faced them. Maybe he got his get-back. I feel like on the mound he did. So go on, David Peterson. Continue to succeed in these baseball streets by being old school, keeping the ball down, and just making sure that guys get outs.
Okay. David Peterson is a fine answer. The man has delivered in all but one start since becoming a Chicago Cub.
I like reliable men.
I see what you did there.
He's being reliable.
Yes. Some would argue that there are plenty of non-reliable men out here doing all kinds of jobs or not doing the jobs that they're supposed to be doing.
So that's why I'm giving this one credit.
But for me, it's got to be Alex Bregman. I'm sorry. Did you say three extra base hits in one game? For the career? I remember there were times where we were wondering if you'd get three extra base hits in a month.
Fair. Oh, man.
Four for five with three extra base hits. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're asking me who was the most impressive in that game last night, it's Alex Bregman, because I didn't know that we'd have a four hit game from Alex Bregman all season. I definitely didn't know we'd have a three extra base hit game from him.
Russ Dorsey is now entering the studio. You can see it on our Twitch chat. Twitch.tv slash TheScoreChicago. YouTube, TheScoreChicago. Russ will be entering to your right.
He is. He's got that merch on, too.
The Relay with Russ Dorsey.
He's got a whole podcast.
So for you, it's Breggy.
It's like I said, Alex Bregman had four hits last night. Not only did he have four hits for the first time all season.
Yeah.
He had three extra base hits in one game.
Yeah.
That's something if I told you it was happening and it happened two months ago, you'd be like, thank the good. But the sweet baby Jesus. All of them.
Yep. Russ has chosen to stand for his appearance.
Hi, guys.
On Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Hey, Russ, what's up?
It's kind of crazy around here. Question number one on five on it.
Do you like the door that we put on the door?
That's not question number one, but you can answer that. The door and the door. Tell me what question one is. Question one is, who was the most impressive player, the MVP of last night's Cubs win? Because the White Sox definitely didn't win. So it's who impressed you the most in the Cubs 7-3 win over the Cardinals?
Oh, it was exactly what I was going to say, what you said, Alex Bregman. When you talk about what you need to see from this lineup going forward, you need to see your highest paid player playing like your highest paid player. And for the Cubs in this stretch right now, as you're trying to solidify yourself ahead of the trade deadline and want to show, OK, this group deserves real reinforcements. You want to see that from Alex Bregman.
Or just better than Jamison Tyone had been offering.
Oh, speaking of the Eagles salary cap and how it extends into 2099 or something.
Oh, we got breaking news?
