What were Shota Imanaga's standout performances against the Phillies?
This hour brought to you by Cars for Kids.
The views and opinions of Laila 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 Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Why are we talking about Patrick Williams, Mars Hall?
Denny Avdia, who Bulls fans woke up this morning if they didn't stay up like me. Sleepy Grody and all his friends.
I'm Sleepy Grody. Wake up!
How has the Cubs' offense improved recently?
Wake up!
He led the Trailblazers to a big win in Phoenix last night in the play-in game that got them the No. 7 seed into the playoffs. He was drafted by the Wizards No. 9 overall in a certain draft in which the Bulls selected Patrick Williams at No. 4. And you know who was shocked that the Bulls took Patrick Williams at No. 4 in that draft? It was Denny Obdiel.
Did you think draft night, did you always think it was going to be them or... No, I definitely, everybody thought, the whole world thought Chicago was going to take me at four. I mean, I'm lost for words. I really am.
The whole world thought that that's what was going to happen, and nobody knew who Patrick Williams was except for the Bulls. Hey, I remember when they drafted him.
What insights did Connor McKnight share about Sam Antonacci's MLB debut?
We're all trying to figure out who he is. Oh, he wasn't a starter, but that's okay. That's all right. Somehow it was justified because he's got an NBA body, and look at this guy. He's going to develop. It's nothing. I mean, we're friends.
We're just friends. Regular friendship development.
Avdija, by the way, if you're curious, because I know he plays after you go to bed, Mark. Yes. I'm very sleepy. For the Portland Trailblazers. So sleepy. This season averaged 24 points a game, 6.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists, while shooting a modest 31.8% from three.
What challenges are the Cubs facing with their pitching staff?
He was an all-star.
This is a punch to the gut.
Apparently a lot of other people were shocked, much like you, that the Bulls spent the fourth pick overall back in 2020 on Patrick Williams instead of maybe, I don't know, Denny Avdia.
I'll say it again, because I had to say it earlier. Arturas Karnaschovas and Mark Eversley can't hurt you ever again. All right, thank God that's over. I got a headache.
Leila Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody with the Patrick Williams of the score filling in. Gabe Ramirez hanging out with you. You are not the Patrick Williams of the score.
How does Shota Imanaga compare to other Cubs pitchers?
Although, if there's something you want to tell me about that, maybe you should be treating the lunch if you're the Patrick Williams of the score.
That was dope? No. Yeah, you're right. Actually, no. I take that back. Maybe like the Trey Jones. of the score okay for your show i like that i got a little bit of money you know saying can count on me for sure yeah not your starter though not yet that is uh we are hanging out with you guys love that uh intro right there by tyler buterbaugh love a good edit on an intro and love the conversation i i had to go look up i was like wait how did that how did any of you get on the blazers like what was the trade it was in june of 2024 it was when they moved uh off of malcolm brogdon
Where's Malcolm Brogdon now?
You know, same thing I'm doing. 14th overall pick in the 2024 draft, which they used on Bub Carrington. And they still have a 2029 first round pick and two future second round picks. Oh, 2029. Think about all that they got. And then I think about Kobe White, you know, and like the Bulls.
What are the implications of injuries on the Cubs' season?
And I'm just thinking, I'm just like, everybody gets first round picks and second round picks and players for this, for that matter. And Danny, obviously could have got you a lot. You know, if that would have been the case, Patrick Williams, not so much, but here we are. and why are you looking like that what's up Marshall what's going on you brought up the Kobe White that was unnecessary because we all saw what Kobe White did in getting the Hornets to a second playing game are the Hornets gonna pay him because let's not forget I think a lot of people are like oh my god look at Io he's killing oh look at Kobe he's killing but like yeah but those guys are gonna command a lot of dollars in free agency that's why the Bulls moved off of them oh okay who are the Bulls paying this offseason I don't know they got 58 million dollars in cash base so who do you think they're gonna pay you confident that that's gonna go well for them
