Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

No challenges got to be okay with those two, but the, uh,

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Yeah, I think when you only have two of them and if you lose one, you're not getting it back.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

So you have to be pretty sure when you go to challenge.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Yeah, I think that's one of the challenges of playing at Wrigley is you're never quite comfortable with it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

You're never quite sure exactly how it's going to come down.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

I was telling Conforto yesterday, just Wrigley has its own gravitational pull.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

And, you know, that sometimes the wind was blowing out the center yesterday.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Everything is kind of coming back to the middle of the field.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

And I think I got comfortable with it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Before that, I'd played outfield in all different positions, and it's different in every position on how it's going to move.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

And so probably halfway through 22, just getting to see kind of every different condition, every different spot where the sun sits throughout the season is when

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

You get a little bit more comfortable in understanding, being able to anticipate kind of where the ball is going to end up.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

But it's different catching a fly ball at Wrigley than it is anywhere else.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Yeah, and first of all, just happy for both of those guys.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

Obviously, super excited for Pete that he's going to get to be here for a long time and give him that sense of security.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

But yeah, for Nico, I mean, I've been with him for such a long time.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

We've been through so much together.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

We've seen it all here, kind of the ups and the downs.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ian Happ discusses his hot start, Nico Hoerner's contract extension

And, you know, we were together through, you know, trading everybody in 21 and rebuilding in 22 and 23.
