I don't know if I caught that.

Yeah.

He was, I mean, he had to have two home runs.

You know, one I think may have been helped by the ballpark, but the other one, absolutely not.

So you got your choice of what you wanted to see there.

Ian Happ had two home runs in two days.

You know, for everybody who hates on Ian Happ on the show constantly.

Contract here.

Our listeners, though, our listeners.

So, like, that's, you know, Ian Happ will find his, he'll find his level.

The bigger issue is, once again, you know,

Kind of like four runs should win you a ball game on opening day, four hits doesn't win you a ball game either.

We talk about the one pitch that gave up the three-run jack partially because we're talking about how the home runs were solo shots and you didn't have as many ducks on the pond as you wanted.

That's a part of this too.

When you've got only four hits in their entirety in a game out of a team that you expect to win, that's also an issue here.

the Cubs were 0 for 1 with runners in scoring position.

Let me juxtapose that real quick.

They were 4 for 19, which means they had 19 opportunities with runners in scoring position on opening day.

You remember like every inning they'd have people on and people doing things and they just couldn't quite push it home.

Then in the second game, they were 4 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
