What led to the Cubs' series win against the Brewers?
10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
The series sweep against the Mets makes it easier for me to go into Milwaukee and be a little more understanding of, given the injuries, given the situation at hand, what may happen in Milwaukee. The sweep at home was just so bad.
It's demoralizing.
That was, I think, the first indicator of how bad that slog had gotten for the Cubs offensively. Your 1-2-3 hitters had better come to work in order to face Mizorowski and that Brewers team.
Understand this, Seiya Suzuki, three for nine lifetime with a home run off of Mizorowski. Maybe most impressively, only two strikeouts in those nine at-bats.
It's a full count. Seiya waits. The pitch, he swings, drills one deep in the air, center field. Mitchell going back near the wall. Gone! Seiya Suzuki helps the Cubs strike first. Solo shot to the right of dead center.
At least you're starting with the most difficult of the group, but it doesn't get much easier for the two games after that.
Kyle Harrison has simply been a revelation. We know how good Brandon Woodruff has been in spots before against the Cubs.
The moral of the story is, do I feel better about Brewers weekend coming into this where they swept the Mets, swept the Mets, step right up and they swept the Mets? Yes, I do.
The 2-1 by Velasquez. Mitchell rounds one on the right side. Fielded back to first by Bush. Underhand toss to Velasquez. In time.
How did injuries affect the Cubs' performance in Milwaukee?
Out number three. Ball game for the first time this season. The Cubs beat the Brewers. They win the middle game of this three-game set in Milwaukee 8-2. Wicks works his motion. Here comes the 2-2. Sanchez hits one on the ground. The third fielded by Bredman. A second for one. Horn on the first. Double play. Cubs win. Cubs win. They beat the Brewers 4-3 in 10. Cubbies.
Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The score.
Brahimi Harrison Grody is live on 104.3 The Score along with my guy, Marshall Harris. What up? I am Mark Grody.
It's a great Monday, Mark.
It does feel like a great Monday. It's a little hot outside, but it's a great Monday. Oh, man, it's a swamp out there. It's hot. It's hot like our baseball teams.
Oh, I see what you did there.
I suggest dry fit if you are walking in the city. I suggest shorts and t-shirts. Don't listen to Dustin Rhodes, who already gave me crap for breaking this perceived dress code that only exists on the morning show.
I wore the doorway pants today just so I wouldn't get the wrath of anyone not wearing shorts, but I just unzipped the pants like halfway up and they become like shorts.
You got to do a little warm-up out there. Take those off.
We're not tearing them away. I don't want to put anybody through that. Namely you.
I mean, it was a terrific weekend. We welcome everybody in here on the score. And we are open. We are open for you. 312-644-6767 is the number.
What role did Seiya Suzuki play in the Cubs' success?
Is this the extended remix here of the show? Does the music always last that long?
It can. Or am I just noticing it? We ride with whoever is on the sound. And today, Ray Diaz, I believe, is operating the sound.
Ray's bouncing it. Oh, yeah. Ray's sitting in the DJ chair today. You know why that is?
Why is Kyle Harrison considered a revelation for the Cubs?
It's because it's a Dave Dykstra day today. The Butte is off. Tyler Buterbaugh is hopefully having a blast, whatever TB might be doing right now. And I do see that we are in the intern formation for the next couple of weeks. We have Peter with us.
Yeah, intern Peter Church out of DePaul. For two weeks, we just... We are... We have as much depth as the Cubs wish they had in their pitching. But apparently, they have enough to go to Milwaukee and take two out of three.
I mean, it really was. Yesterday was just a great game. Pins and needles. Oh, my God. Like, just the high drama. In Milwaukee yesterday, the Cubs with a 4-3, 10-inning win. I know this ain't the postgame show, but I'm going through that 10th inning. And Michael Bush walking with the bases loaded. It's 2-1 Cubs. Say a Suzuki. Here's why I'm going through it, because I had an I was right moment. So yesterday... At this moment, 10th inning, right?
