Chapter 1: What are the initial thoughts on the Cubs' performance?
I back it up. I back that stuff up.
Thanks to our guests in this order, Danny Parkins and Chris Emma. We were very scored today on our guests.
Yeah, they were both great. They were both great.
Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlund. And our transition is brought to you by Torque Coatings. High-performance coatings for your home or business. TorqueCoatings.com. Now time to bring in Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel. Hello, guys.
What up, good people? It's over. You called it at the end of 10. 10 was enough. My wife was like, that's just symmetry. Two tens up, one ten down, and bing, bang, boom, there it was.
They're too consistent. You mean good and bad? Yes. They act as one. They fail as one. They win as one. It's too much.
So is it a real thing? It is a real thing, right? When like women's cycles line up for their pheromones. Like, is this what you're saying? The Cubs as a ball club, they line up together. They cycle together.
They're in sync. They're in sync. I mean, I made the joke with Ian Happ because I was like, you guys are too much of a team. You know, you're winning and losing.

Chapter 2: How do the Cubs' players exhibit team synchronization?
And he laughed because he was like, yes, we are suffering together. And I'm like, well, one of you be selfish. And then maybe the others will follow was my thought. That was not communicated.
Maybe it's Bregman that stopped being. Maybe Bregman's going to be selfish. That man's hitting the ball.
Yeah, but he didn't hit the ball with the bases loaded and nobody out in the first inning yesterday.
Gruntz and I still had some bones to pick, but they did score 10 runs to break the 10-game streak.
Really hitting it hard. He's just kind of hitting it.
Did you just bitch about a risk situation when they scored 10 runs? I did because... Hey, listen here, Jed Hoyer.
He saw what he saw.
Hold on, man. Hold on. Ian Happ had a big wrist pit. No doubt. That felt like a big clutch hit in inning number one.
It felt like a clutch hit in the first inning. Let me explain myself.

Chapter 3: What critical moments impacted the Cubs' recent game?
It's been a traumatic couple of weeks in the Cubs world. They're facing Paul Skeets tonight. I was out with family last night, and until that home run was hit, it was very tense among the family. Should we talk about the Cubs? No, let's not ruin dinner, Mark.
There's so many ways to ruin dinner. We're going to talk about this later on. Ian Happ, after the game last night, said, it's like it never happened. We've been talking about this, but now it's totally irrelevant. Everything that's gone before. And that Jamison Tyone last night said, yeah, those 10 losses in a row are still raw.
well they should they should because you can't i mean jed was even talking about how unprecedented this all feels and how there weren't the the highs and the lows last year that this year has been the antithesis so you have you do have to review it study it and decide if something needs to change on your team because of you just went through or we can just pretend like it never happened and then the next time they lose eight in a row we could all go through the same thing again that
And that's why when he even said, oh, it's pretty much the same team from last year. No, it is not. Like, say Suzuki led baseball and RBIs at the half, you know, at the All-Star break. You had Kyle Tucker. You had Bonafide. I know who my number four hitter is, Slug, in your lineup. You had PCA hitting a whole bunch of home runs. PCA was tearing the cover off the ball. So, no, it was not the same.
Like, it wasn't. And the results showed that at the time.
We have an opportunity to ask Craig Council at 2.30 on this radio show, what does he think of his team? Like, what kind of team? They're not as bad as what they just came through. They're not as good as the 20-3. The way Alex put it, 20-3 versus what, 2-14? Yeah. Those two stretches, they're not either of those, so what are they?
Are they the team that had 10 come-from-behind wins up until April or May 7th? The team that had four walk-off wins that seemed like no lead was insurmountable? That's just it? Who are they? Who are they? Who are they? Who are you? I'm Batman.
What if they're nothing now? They just start over even-Steven, like that Seinfeld episode? You know he threw the 20 on the street and then he found a 20 because everything was coming up even, Stephen.
Oh, yeah, that's right. What other Seinfeld did he reference? Oh, no.

Chapter 4: How do fans react to the Cubs' performance during tense moments?
As we do. Well, remember when they got their ass beat two straight games in Atlanta, and then they beat Chris Sale 2-0 in Game 3? Baseball is a funny game.
It is. And there's still a lot of games left to play. He beat Skeens twice last year. That's right. Don't be afraid. He's been very good against the Cubs in general, but they have gotten to him before.
Do you know how many games against the Pirates Ian Happ has reached base consecutively? 40.
45. Literally 40.
40 games in a row.
Hometown. Are they going to sign him next year to a three-year deal?
Or the Reds. He kills the Reds, too.
Oh, yeah.
Put like a 300 lifetime batting average and on base 40 games in a row. That's bananas. Likes playing there.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the Cubs' losing streak?
Ben Johnson spoke. We will talk about the things that interested us as a show. The Bulls are looking for coaches. What type of coach they're looking for is interesting. There's something going on in Minnesota that we have been tracking for a while now. And we are going to spend some more time tracking what's going on with 9. Because that's a whole thing. We are going to talk with Craig Council.
That's at 2.30 today. And when we come back, we will live in the win for the Cubs.
Also, we're playing categories later on.
That's right. And we'll figure out when we're doing that. It's kind of like... You don't know. We don't know because we have some White Sox stuff that we want to do once the game is over, and maybe they will win a series for the first time since playing the Cubs.
Looking like it.
So we will talk about all of that after Tanny's open, which you know is must-listen radio. It's next here on The Score.
