Cubs Gold Glove left fielder Ian Happ joins Dodgers star Mookie Betts to discuss his love for coffee, if he thinks he could play golf professionally, and what it feels like running into the outfield wall at Wrigley Stadium. They also discuss why he enjoys playing for manager Craig Counsell, his improvement as an outfielder, how he became a switch hitter, his journey through the minors, the Cubs’ push for the playoffs, what impresses them about Japanese superstars in MLB, and they play a game of ‘Guess the Pitcher’.

Happer!
Happer 😄☕
Love Happ but I was praying for an ep with Cody 🥲
Love Happ!
Hahah. Ian Happ looked way too comfortable. Of course he has his own podcast. I bet he enjoys a nice cigar with some good whiskey.
Ian Happ? Out of all the cubs…
Happer is an elite guest
Ian Happ sits like a woman.
Being a lifelong Cubbie fan, purty much a Dodger fan these days because of the Wife, but still…Happer is my favourite Cubbie. He is the prototypical, consummate, bread n butter Big Leaguer. Not too extreme either way. Productive, can be clutch and always reliable. I just respect the Dude a ton. Always have.
…and don’t forget the day game where Kerry Wood casually struck out 20 Astros. The thing I’ve learned since a kid seeing games in Wrigley is that outfield…you don’t play Wrigley, it plays you. That wind and sun yes…but that brick wall don’t give an inch.
Haha Happ said he never faced Miller but Happ got the first hit Miller ever gave up in the big leagues on his debut. A double!
happ is a cool dude
