Chapter 1: What are the bullpen issues facing Chicago's baseball teams?
We've got things to talk about. I love it. It's like a hit and run. Now you've got to go. We know. We've been told you have more important things to do with your life.
I've got to go to MLB Network and bash on some other cities.
Chapter 2: How does the conversation shift to MLB Network's impact on local teams?
Okay, I'm going to Chicago. Equal opportunity basher. I love that. Your guy, Rob Parker, who knew he was going to come in here and tell 50,000 watts of score fans that the Cubs and Sox are not playoff teams. Listen, this is on you, pal.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Trey Young's contract decision?
Nothing happened since he agreed to come on Friday that helped strengthen either of our positions about our teams doing better.
Yeah, he makes this proclamation on Friday. Marshall calls him out and says, you've got to come on the show. We're going to debate you. And then the socks get swept by Detroit. So sad. Thank you to our guests here on Rahimi Harris and Grody. Rob Parker was one of them of the MLB Network. We also had Chuck Swirsky in studio today. What a treat that was and always is.
Danny Parkins was on with us as well. Our producers, Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, and shout out to my guy, Brandon Fryer. Also, our video producers. We see you guys on Twitch. Thanks for tuning in. We appreciate it. Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. And now, Transition is brought to you by Torque Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business. TorqueCoatings.com.
It's Spiegel and Holmes, Lawrence and Matt. How are you gentlemen doing? Good job, Tyler.
We will.
Thanks, Lawrence.
Oh, you want to start that now, huh? Lawrence, when you lead with it, then you don't have to worry about it at the end.

Chapter 4: How do the Cubs and White Sox compare in their bullpen options?
You know what I mean?
That's true.
I always want them to know.
Chapter 5: What are the challenges faced by Sir Anthony Dominguez in the White Sox bullpen?
That was for the win right there. That was kind. We just went up a notch.
Can I ask a question of the group?
Yeah.
Because I'm just like, I guess this is breaking news, technically. Breaking news on the score, sponsored by iDot. If there's a car pulled to the side of the road, move over. Trey Young opts out of his $49 million option and comes back to the same team, the Washington Wizards, and they give this man four years, 212, with a player option for that fourth year, by the way.
Is Trey Young worth this in the new NBA landscape?
No, he is not.
Okay, I was making sure. I'm not crazy. Not really worth the 49. That's what I thought. I was like, why would you opt out of that? But I didn't know someone was aching to give him four years, paying him more than $49 million a year.
Same team. So there's some kind of advantage for them and for him. They had to have agreed on this when they made the deal in the first place, right?
I just think that he's a player that his game will never reach the hype of what we thought it would be.

Chapter 6: How does the performance of Kyle Schwarber affect Cubs fans?
He turns it over. He doesn't shoot that well from three, and he takes a lot of threes.
But you know what I mean? I usually think of empty calories players like Carmelo Anthony's when I first heard that phrase. Like dudes who score a lot but don't make their teammates better.
Except for college. It was the only time that that wasn't the case with Carmelo.
You could take over in college.
That's true.
Different ball games. But a point guard with deep range who also gets a lot of assists.
But does he really have deep range is my whole point. I don't think he was ever as good a three-point shooter as he thinks he is.
That's the problem, is that he's the first in the, hey, we've got to find another Steph. Exactly. He's the first one of those. And it's like, well, he's got incredible range. Well, sometimes, yeah. But not as consistently as you want or as he thinks.
And so he ends up taking a lot of bad shots where I do think that if he were to convert his game a little bit more to go into the basket because he's hard to guard. Oh, that pick and roll?

Chapter 7: What recent developments have occurred with the White Sox's roster?
And then Jason Tatum came back. I'm back. And then it was like... Aw, man, I'm not the man no more.
Yeah, and he in management? Jalen Brown, I think he's really smart and really interesting, but he's also kind of angry.
Chapter 8: What are the expectations for the upcoming games against the Twins?
I want the angry guy on my team if I'm the Bucs, is my point. Angry wouldn't be how I would describe him. I agree with you. I think he's super smart. I think he's also super selfish. Selfish? Yes.
I think he's super selfish. I get a Jimmy Butler vibe from him. A little bit.
Not phony like Jimmy? Yeah, I think he's very real. I think he's one of the most interesting guys in the NBA. Someone I'd love to sit and have a conversation with. I would not want to be in the same room with him. I guess that's it.
There's something going on, though, with Jalen that, like, I don't know. I feel like it's a little combustible as a personality.
But he can ball. Oh, for sure. And he is definitely good with being the number one option on a team. Like, that's what he desires. So I get it. But you have to then figure out how to build with him as the main piece. And what do you do to kind of build around him? He's still young enough that he can work, in my opinion. Shooters.
Put shooters around him.
A lot of shooters.
And guys who can play defense in a quality, rim-running, defensive-oriented big. And you've got yourself a team that can cause problems. Yeah, maybe so.
Maybe you guys could help us out with a question that we were pondering earlier and really never came to an answer about it. And it centers on the game of baseball and our Cubs and our White Sox. If it's like the sixth inning, is that what we'd say, Marshall?
