Mark Grote 0:01

Rahimi Harrison-Grody.

Leila Rahimi 0:03

We are the best show in this town to have the coach and or quarterback sit right here. Because we're here for a good time. We are here for a good time. We're fun. We're funny. We're serious sometimes. Sometimes we cry. Sometimes we laugh. Like, this is perfect.

Mark Grote 0:18

If you wanted a high chance of a drink spilled all over the studio, we are definitely your people. Middays 10 to 2. Maybe we're the show for you. On 104.3 The Score.

Unknown 0:31

Faces loaded, two down, bottom of the 10th inning. The atmosphere is incredible. And the pitch on the way. Inside, Cubs win the ball game. The Cubs have won another one. Listen to this crowd. Three straight walk-up wins in the series against Cincinnati.

Mark Grote 0:58

Yeah, we love to hear Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer on the call. Grody's jamming out. That is courtesy of the Northwestern Medicine Cubs radio network. Do we bring it back? I feel like we haven't done it this season.

Unknown 1:12

That's the Lawrence Holmes special. Lawrence is out of town.

Mark Grote 1:16

Yeah, we'll work on it. Maybe we do an arm signal and then we do it together. We could try right now. Okay, so Northwestern Medicine Cubs. Radio Network.

Leila Rahimi 1:25

That was nice. A little act you guys do in here. I like it.

Mark Grote 1:29

That is Mark Grody. I'm Layla Rahimi. We are here getting you ready for day baseball. Cubs and Reds at 120 at Wrigley. It is sunny. Can they make it 15 in a row? And the game had a lot of twists and turns last night. 312-644-6767 is our number. Derek joins us from Bolingbrook. Hi, Derek.

Leila Rahimi 1:48

Hello there, Derek. Is he here?

Unknown 1:51

How's it going? Good, man. There he is. Hey. What's going on, guys? Hey, man. Yeah, what's happening?

Leila Rahimi 1:55

Nothing.

Unknown 1:55

Hey, I was calling because I wanted to give Greg Council his flowers, man, because if you remember, it was basically loaded, and Bush was up, and there was a pitch where, you know, Bush wanted to challenge, right? Yes. But they didn't give him the challenge, and it was a 3-1 count at the time that it happened, and That's when counsel came out, and he argued as well. I wanted to give counsel his flowers because that argue that he did threw that pitcher off because that very next pitch that the pitcher threw damn near hit Bush, and that won the game.

Mark Grote 2:35

You know what? I think you're on to something, Derek, because as we mentioned earlier, I think there have been some very good bullpen decisions that Craig Council has made, especially in this past homestand we talked about him. But yeah, he comes out there because the argument at that very last at-bat in the 10th inning was that—and I think, you know, to add to that, the crowd was on 10— And then Bush wanted the challenge. The timing wasn't there as we saw. We could see it play out in real time. The beauty is now that the umpires have the opportunity to go out and look at that video themselves and see and double check. Ian Happ talked to us about that the other day, even after the game. And then Bush goes out there and then Craig goes out there too.

Mark Grote 3:15

And you could tell that Craig didn't want to get ejected in that moment. But there was a come on man type of discussion that was going on right before it. And even if it disrupted the timing a little bit, It was enough at that point to help the Cubs win because the bases were loaded.

Leila Rahimi 3:29

Yeah, I don't know if I buy that Brock Burke, the pitcher that caused him to be more rattled in that spot.

Mark Grote 3:36

I thought he was coaching Illinois State football. Oh, yeah.

Leila Rahimi 3:39

No, it's a different Brock. That is Brock of the SPAC. Brock Beck. Still got to talk about that championship game a little bit. That was not his finest hour.

Mark Grote 3:48

I got emotionally attached to that game.

Leila Rahimi 3:49

Which is very moving to me, by the way, as an ISU alumnus.

Mark Grote 3:53

Hey, I'm a public school girl, okay? I go with the state institutions. Illini, Illinois State.

Leila Rahimi 3:59

Hell yeah. Let's go. We're all about it.

How does the Cubs' 14-game home win streak compare to past records?

Leila Rahimi 4:01

But yeah, I think actually in that spot, a guy in obviously the highest of leverage situation, Brock Burke, to be able to take a couple of deep breaths in that scenario, I think actually probably was more helpful to him. theory should have been but one way or another brock burke was rattled throughout that at bat for some reason terry francona rolling the dice just a little bit to load the bases like in that spot like it's always a weird thing but i get what he was doing with the matchup with michael bush i probably would have done the same thing but it was a terrific at bat for michael bush to take those bad pitches
