What does Ian Happ say about the Cubs' mindset with six games left?
The talent that's here and the talent that is continuing to develop here. We obviously have some mainstay guys like Ian Happ.
Ian Happ. Cubs all-star outfielder. Man, I've seen a lot of guys play the outfield, but I think he's the best left fielder that we've ever seen in a Cub uniform. And I've been here 31
years. When all is said and done, he's going to be one of those guys that Cub fans are going to look back and
say, man, he was a really good player. Longest tenure Chicago athlete, you know, so there's a lot of respect for that guy. Gold Glove Award winner.

Let's talk Cubs with our guy, Ian Happ. Cubs are back on hosting the Marlins tonight. The magical number is one. A win for the Cubs or an Arizona loss, and the Cubs will have clinched a playoff berth. Ian Happ, welcome back to Rahimi and Grody on The Score. What's going on, man?
How are you doing,
guys? We are doing well. How was your day off yesterday? And specifically, what I really want to know is did you end up going to Medina yesterday, which is right by my high school, because I know you were a threat to go out there to take a look at the practice round for the President's Cup team. So did you make it to Medina? Did not make it to Medina yesterday. Did
get to play golf, which was great.
How does the team plan to clinch a playoff berth at home?
Oh, nice. Okay. But didn't make it out there. It was a nice off day. There's a little
fall chill in the air here in Chicago. Ooh, yeah. Does that make you think about the playoffs and stuff?
I mean, yeah, we got a week to go. But it's, you know, I think the little chill in the air just means the wind's going to be blowing in for a few days. And we have to contend with that. But that's part of the Wrigley fall experience.
Oh, yeah, the favorite thing of hitters, the wind blowing in at Wrigley. That's really what the cool means, yes. Ian, what is the mentality for you? What's your mindset this week? One last home series before the regular season concludes, and then a series where we're still trying to figure out what's going to happen in Boston because of the storm. This is not a normal week, I think, as you get ready for postseason play.
Yeah, I think it's kind of one thing at a time. Let's go out and have a great series at home here and put ourselves in the best position and figure that out. In Boston, it does seem like it could be pretty nasty weather on the East Coast over the weekend.
And I'm assuming the goal is to try to clinch at home in front of the crowd.
Yeah, I mean, we win tonight. We're in, right? So, yeah, that's the number one goal. And then, you know, we can't control how the other teams play. But, you know, if we go out there and play really good baseball these last six days, you know, we'll put ourselves in a really good spot.
What happened in the freak foul‑ball incident that injured Alex Bregman?
Yeah, I like the idea of clenching tonight. You guys get a little celebration in. But, dude, Bregman. oh my god yeah the bregman face is all over the place and it's nice it's nice to see that he could be back for the playoffs but uh say more your vantage point of it the whole thing what's going on with with bregman who bought for people who don't know multiple facial fractures will not undergo surgery per jeff pass in a vspn is hopeful to return for the postseason you take over from here what did you see what's going on with bregman man
yeah it was just such a freak play um you know it wasn't like up it's like a up and in ball to to bushy and it wasn't even like a real check swing it was like kind of you stopped and it came off the side of the bat dead sideways and you know break you couldn't get out of the way and it was yeah it was it was a tough scene it was definitely a lot of blood and um
