0

28.617 - 29.398 Mark Grote

0

29.418 - 38.391 Leila Rahimi

Palm Sunday is this Sunday. After Palm Saturday here on the score, by the way. How about that? It's actually going to be Palm Saturday on Palm Saturday.

39.113 - 40.835 Mark Grote

What do you do with that palm when you get home with it?

Chapter 2: What factors are influencing Caleb Williams' potential extension?

40.895 - 42.017 Leila Rahimi

I put it over my door.

0

42.518 - 42.618 Mark Grote

Aw.

0

43.139 - 44.38 Leila Rahimi

Yeah.

0

44.4 - 45.502 Mark Grote

That's nice. That's a good idea.

0

45.782 - 52.012 Leila Rahimi

Yeah. Sorry the answer was so automatic and quick. But yes, that was my training, if you will. So that's where I put it.

52.032 - 52.853 Mark Grote

Asked and answered.

Chapter 3: How did Pete Crow-Armstrong's extension impact the Cubs?

53.626 - 72.664 Leila Rahimi

Speaking of asking, we are asking the question, who's the next Chicago athlete other than Caleb Williams? Because it's Caleb Williams. He gets his own exemptions here that we think will be the next to receive an extension. I do think Caleb Williams is getting extended. How do I know? Because Ryan Poles mentioned it.

0

72.644 - 87.666 Leila Rahimi

He said he's not there yet, but he knows that that is something that is top of mind for the Bears. That was addressed. That was specifically discussed. I don't think you're far off for me in just giving Kayla Williams the given there.

0

Chapter 4: What are the prospects for Colson Montgomery's future with the Cubs?

87.646 - 105.3 Mark Grote

I agree with you. Ryan Poles has everything in the world to want to have that happen after his rookie year when we were all questioning Caleb Williams. And based on what he did in the second half of last year and some of the things he still needs to tighten up, oh yeah, I agree with you.

0

105.28 - 115.918 Leila Rahimi

Yes. Direct Ryan Poles has had a couple of hits with me recently. Oh. Yeah. Direct Ryan Poles. It's kind of like Podcast Russ. It's just a different version of these people that we know.

0

Chapter 5: Why is Nico Horner considered a key player for the Cubs' future?

116.098 - 129.6 Leila Rahimi

Yeah. When he's like, oh, we have a lot of tough decisions to make regarding a DJ Moore question. When he didn't even have to bring that in. Direct Ryan Poles showed you how he felt. I feel like Direct Ryan Poles also showed us how he felt about Caleb Williams.

0

129.58 - 145.581 Mark Grote

Yeah, hey, no matter what you want to say about Ryan Poles, he's always been much more, let's just say, relative to his predecessors, especially Ryan Pace. And we can go on and on with Phil Emery and Jerry Angelo. I don't know how far you want to go back. You usually don't get transparency.

0

145.982 - 152.01 Mark Grote

Jerry Angelo could be pretty transparent at times, but that was just out of anger and frustration with the media at times.

0

Chapter 6: What role does Conor Bedard play in the Blackhawks' future contracts?

152.108 - 166.4 Leila Rahimi

So we asked the question, other than Kayla Williams, because direct Ryan polls indicated that that's happening. Who's next to be extended in Chicago? We already got a good answer, I think, from our text line. Yeah? 815 says Colson Montgomery will be next.

0

166.42 - 167.323 Mark Grote

That was mine!

0

167.363 - 169.046 Leila Rahimi

Oh, no way!

0
0

170.333 - 172.878 Mark Grote

God. Got all the numbers up.

Chapter 7: How do recent performances affect Darnell Wright's contract situation?

173.038 - 176.505 Leila Rahimi

Okay, so tell me why you think that. No. Because that's all 815 said.

0

176.585 - 180.072 Mark Grote

You spoiled my answer. How dare you go to the text line first?

0

180.452 - 184.921 Leila Rahimi

Well, it was just staring me in the face and I couldn't read. My God.

0

185.522 - 191.113 Mark Grote

Yeah, the guy played in 71 games last year. Hit 21 home runs. This pisses me right off.

0

Chapter 8: What insights can be gained from the discussion on Chicago athletes' extensions?

191.313 - 209.801 Mark Grote

What? 55 RBIs in those 71 games last year. And we were just talking about how, and it was a different regime, it was Rick Hahn and how they were very good at taking care of the arbitration years with Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez.

0

209.841 - 223.293 Mark Grote

And I know it didn't work out, but if he continues to do this on this trajectory, then I think it would be a good idea to buy out his years and give him some sort of extension. There, fine. What else you got from the texters? Layla.

0

223.373 - 247.957 Leila Rahimi

Well, I mean, I just thought it was a good point because if there was any team who might want to, I don't know, have some, quote, intelligent spending, end quote, and lock down their core and start at shortstop, a guy who's certainly paid off in a way that was unexpected last year because, well, we thought he was going to start the league, you know, start the year at the league level, and then he had injuries, and then he had to get his head right with balls, so to speak.

0

247.977 - 249.918 Mark Grote

A weird path. Wasn't he all alone?

0

249.938 - 253.422 Leila Rahimi

Circuitous in Arizona. Yeah. It's just the babies all alone.

253.442 - 272.239 Mark Grote

Well, you remember Nico Horner did one of his afternoon appearances on Spiegel and Holmes, coming up in a little bit here of a transition. And he said, like, they asked him about Colson Montgomery and said, oh, what do you think about the path that he took? Kind of interesting. And Nico was like, no, that's not a path that I would like to take. That is not a path that I think is good.

272.779 - 287.415 Mark Grote

Paraphrasing what Nico Horner said. But I love the idea of Colson Montgomery continuing to thrive and making him a cornerstone, hopefully. And just to counter the texter, how about Chase Mydraff while we're at it, too? Sign all the socks.

287.435 - 287.816 Leila Rahimi

I beat you to it.

288.036 - 291.58 Mark Grote

What about Mune? Munataka Murakami? How about him, too?
