Ian Happ

I'm talking baseball.

He's really good at it.

You know, he has a great feel for kind of distilling the game and being able to communicate what he's seeing.

But, you know, as one of my best friends in baseball, it's pretty funny to see him doing broadcasting now.

Yeah, I mean, I appreciate the kind words.

I think that is the truth.

I think one of the things that has been important to me throughout my career or something that I value is you got to stay the course and you can't, you're going to have times that,

The game stinks and you feel underwater.

And I think the best way to get out of those or the best way to shorten them is to understand that it's not going to last forever and that there are better times ahead.

And when you're going...

When you're going good, bottling that up and continuing to keep the faith in it.

And it's a long season.

It's a ton of at-bats.

And so stay in the course.

Yeah, and I think Jim made a good point there about anti-PCA.

We do play a very different brand of baseball, that's for sure.

Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's, that is, it's, we play the game differently and, you know, both get to result in different ways.

And, you know, I play the game in a very even way.

And, you know, even if something good is happening, I'm not going to get super fired up.

I'm fired up internally, I promise, but I'm not going to get super outwardly fired up and emotional about it.
