Pick 6: Cubs sweep the Mets

The Mully & Haugh Show's 'Pick 6' episode dives into the Chicago Cubs' recent five-game winning streak, highlighted by a dominant sweep of the Mets, which has shifted fan perceptions of the team's offensive resurgence and strong starting pitching. The hosts praise Nico Horner's clutch performance, particularly his 10th-inning at-bat that sparked a wild celebration, while criticizing Mets manager Carlos Mendoza for the ill-advised decision to pitch to Horner. They also highlight the White Sox's surprising offensive explosion in Sacramento, led by Mune Murakami’s eight home runs in 22 games—surpassing even Shohei Otani’s early pace—and commend the team’s resilience despite bullpen struggles. On the NFL front, the hosts react with disbelief to the Bengals trading a 10th overall pick for Dexter Lawrence, calling it a franchise-altering move that reflects Cincinnati’s win-now urgency. They debate the value of draft picks in a shallow draft and consider whether the Giants’ move sends a message to John Harbaugh. Finally, they speculate on the Bulls’ coaching search, weighing the remote possibility of Steve Kerr joining Chicago despite his exhaustion and apparent desire to step away, while acknowledging the need for clarity on Billy Donovan’s future.
