You got a man on third with less than two out.

Do you feel like that approach has changed at all, whether it's for you or your teammates?

Because I know you guys know what the numbers are as far as the high leverage and also runners in scoring position.

I think talking about it helps, though, because it's like there's no elephant in the room.

You acknowledge it, that kind of creates a lack of pressure, if you will, because the last thing he wants to do is be at the plate with extra pressure because he knows they haven't been good in those situations.

Yeah, we will.

Reminder, this conversation that we just had with Ian Happ brought to you by Hattie B's with that hot chicken, that Nashville hot chicken.

Well, we know he won't be the next head coach of the Bulls, so there's that.

The double Tyler formation.

With a third-year option.

You've got to pay $3 million in 2028 just to make him go away.

But in last night's game, they were really bad at times, but found a way to win.

Yeah.

And so I can see them definitely staying on this treadmill of mediocrity for the duration.

And here's why.

Because when you look around at the rest of the National League, there's a few really good teams, but there's a lot of teams that look a lot like the Cubs in that they are also in that mediocre somewhere between three to four games over .500 or three to four games under .500.

That's where the Cubs are.

I don't see how they're going to all of a sudden just take off and have, I don't know, another 10-game winning streak.

Just because from a pitching standpoint, they don't have the hosses.

They don't have guys throwing seven innings.
