What happened in the Cubs' doubleheader against the Mets?
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Excellent work by Tyler Biederbaugh, as usual. Ray Diaz, one of our producers as well. They are a team. I feel like we watched 15 hours of baseball yesterday. Marshall, we got off work early. We had our shorty of the year, our one shorty show, the East Coast early Cubs game. And then we proceeded to watch nothing but baseball for the rest of the day. As long as we were also flipping with the NBA draft where we found out everybody ever got traded in the second round. Cash considerations is back. And in the meantime, Dansby Swanson. Have a nice, what, month yesterday? Have a nice week yesterday? 11 RBI in the doubleheader for Dansby. Of all the people who needed that, man, that was one.
The crazy part is, Layla, a week ago, this man had the worst batting average in all of baseball amongst qualified players, tied with Manny Machado with a 175 average. That was a week ago. Manny Machado. That was a week ago. Seriously, that was a week ago. And now, because of what he's done since then, he has a six-game hitting streak, by the way, 11 for his last 23.
And I actually think that that's valid to this.
Yes, and if you can't get fat off of bad teams and bad pitching, then you don't understand how the backs of baseball cards are actually created. And you have to take advantage when you take on bad teams. And the Mets might be the worst team. And think about who they just faced. But the Mets might be the worst team because Juan Soto was immediately stricken from the record, right? They might be the worst team that they face all season.
This was Francisco Lindor's return, too, in the late game. You know, Francisco, everybody was hyped for Francisco Lindor returning in the late game. And Francisco Lindor is an infielder? Well, he was one of all four Mets infielders who committed errors in this game to the tune of six total. Like, we were laughing because the game before, so this is the Tuesday night game, they were booing Kodai Senga. And then you were like, Kodai Senga deserved to get booed. He did. We were laughing about it.
How did Dansby Swanson achieve 11 RBIs in one day?
And then the boo birds really came out. And then they started chanting Pete Alonso. The Cubs did a number on those Mets, man.
And then they had a washout with a makeup game a couple of days later. Of course, nobody that was originally scheduled to go to the game could really make. So then you've got a bunch of Norwegians making all the noise and thinking that Dansby Swanson is the greatest baseball player ever because the man went with a grand slam and a three-run homer in the same game. He has 15 RBI in the series, which, Layla, that's the most... runs that anyone's ever driven in against the Mets in a series ever.
I mean, take your pick as to insane stat when it came to just what happened in that doubleheader yesterday. Like we mentioned, every member of the Mets infield committed an error. I am sure, just knowing what I know about the S&Y broadcast, like... I'm sure it was on fire. I can't imagine Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez acting any other way. He mentioned it on SNY, Cohen did, that the Mets had errors by all four infielders for the first time since September 8th, 1962.
What struggles did Dansby Swanson face before the doubleheader?
Felix Mantia, Charlie Neal, Rodney Neal, and marvelous Marv Thornberry did it against the Houston Colt 45s.
Not the Colt 45s. Not the Houston Billy Dee Williams.
Do we have the montage of the Mets errors? Let's do it.
3-2 to Suzuki. And the sweeper hit on the ground is short. Runner has to hold. It's bobbled by Lindor. And Lindor commits an error on the first play. Hits sharply. Semi to his left. Knocks it down. Still has time. And the throw is off line. He flies this one to shallow right. Angling in Beatty, going out is Simeon, and Simeon can't make the catch. He recovers, now drops it again, and runners are safe at first and second.
Okay, we know about Marcus Simeon, though.
Grounded to third, backing off is Bichette, and he has trouble getting it out of his glove, and Ramirez is safe. Hits sharply and a nice diving stop by Vientos. The other hand flip goes by the pitcher and that'll bring in a run as Ramirez comes in to score.
