A ground ball hit to third. Fielded by Bregman. Throw across. Ball game. Cubs sweep the Mets. They take the finale 4-3 in 10 innings.
That is Zach Zabin. He and Ron Coomer were on the call for the Northwestern Medicine Cubs radio network. The Cubs get the season sweep of the Mets. We see them take the four-game series in Queens this week and also end up ultimately leading to a firing. The Mets, according to John Heyman and MLB.com, have dismissed manager Carlos Mendoza. Andy Green, who was with the San Diego Padres, has been named the interim manager.
Who is Dailyn Swain and why was he drafted by the Bulls?
That's an insulting turn of events there.
That's two managers that the Cubs have had a very direct path to getting managers fired. If you take into account that earlier after they took, what, six out of seven from the Phillies? Or was it five out of six? from the phillies they lost the first one and then it was a 10 game winning streak and the phillies were a part of that on both ends and then don maddenly gets named the interim manager after they lose a following series with the braves dropping two out of three to them and now with this one you got a former cub in charge uh and andy green and look the cubs are out here if if you beat a team badly enough you can get somebody fired it's that time of year right
Something also had to happen in New York for that performance, for this team, for the underachievement, the six errors in a game. It's not exactly shocking that this was the result for the Mets.
The Mets are bad and they are ill-constructed in the way that we talk about sometimes the parts don't match up. Look, they've got one of the best hitters, a top five hitter in the game in Juan Soto, but they haven't been able to put things around him that make it make sense. And with the pitching as bad as it's been, the bullpen as bad as it's been, but more importantly, you can't play the type of defense that that team plays and win baseball games consistently. You can't do it at this level. Because if you constantly give teams four outs in an inning, you're going to lose. You're going to lose.
Well, and we saw that's what happened. And there was a time, Marshall, where I really wanted when Sean and I was available free agent years ago and the White Sox were still trying to win in the previous regime when it was still like Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams and the like.
What insights does Coach Sean Miller provide about Dailyn Swain?
I want to say it was a 2021 or 22 season, maybe 22, maybe even as late as 23. But I wanted Sean Minaya to be a White Sox. I've always liked what he did in his career. I thought he would be a good fit for the Sox at the time. They have talent, but you just didn't see it get put together in a way that, unfortunately, it's a collection of parts that didn't fit together.
You know I love a vocal fan base, right? They've been very vocal the last four days, letting ownership know where they think they went wrong with the chants of Pete Alonzo.
Yeah.
And I know Bo Bichette didn't think he was signing up for this. That man's coming off a World Series appearance.
Oh, yeah. Well, and he's had flashes. He has not also been playing to his contract. But, you know, he's put some good swings on the ball. That's for sure. We saw a couple in the series that we just witnessed.
How has Dailyn Swain developed as a player at Texas?
But either way, this is now turning the page. Not to steal turn the page's industry's phrase, but... This is turning the page to now what we anticipate is a really exciting series coming up against these Brewers. And I go back to the last time Jacob Mizorowski faced them. That was in the game that they had over at Wrigley Field. I thought that the Cubs' best chances to get hits off of him at the time were early. It was in the first inning, seemingly. And then he went six scoreless on May 19th. So... I wonder how that's going to translate to seeing your one, two, three hitters had better come to work today in order to face Mizorowski and that Brewers team.
The best chance you have is him being maybe wild, but he doesn't really get wild.
