5 On It: What do you expect from Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd's second start?

The episode opens with breaking news: the White Sox home opener has been postponed to Friday due to weather, prompting a change in the show's location to Wings and Rings on Halstead. The hosts, Rahimi, Harris, and Grody, shift focus to the Cubs' upcoming game against the Angels, analyzing lefty Matthew Boyd's second start of the season. They express cautious optimism, emphasizing Boyd's strong strikeout numbers in his debut but highlighting concerns over control and command. The discussion pivots to umpire CB Buckner, who is criticized for a series of questionable calls, particularly a clear missed base call that sparked fan and broadcaster outrage. The hosts mock Buckner’s performance and suggest he should consider LASIK surgery to improve his vision, joking about monetizing his mistakes. The segment then shifts to the Bears' potential pursuit of Myles Garrett, with the hosts arguing that the team should go all-in, even if it means trading multiple high picks, to bolster a struggling defense. Tom Brady’s recent CNBC appearance, where he hinted at a possible return under special ownership rules, sparks debate on his true retirement intentions, with the hosts rating his 'happily retired' claim as highly suspect. The episode closes with a humorous comparison of the Bears' defense to the John Wick films—flashy but lacking substance—and a lighthearted jab at streaming platform confusion, particularly Apple TV’s rebranding.
