Cubs left fielder Ian Happ runs onto the field before a game against the Brewers on May 5, 2024, at Wrigley Field. Ian Happ was back in the Chicago Cubs lineup Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates after taking a two-game mental break in Atlanta.
“There is no guarantee what fixes you,” Counsell said. “Ultimately it’s going to be swinging at good pitches and things like that. You do it because you come back today … and I think you’re in a better place and a little refreshed, especially mentally.” Asked May 8 about his slump, Happ conceded he had “been ahead on some offspeed pitches and even kind of ahead on fastballs,” so he was still “working through” his approach to find balance.
Cubs left fielder Ian Happ waits to take the field for a game against the Astros on April 23, 2024, at Wrigley Field. “In this case it was just ‘Sit back and watch and get a littler perspective’ and then regroup and go after it.” After starting hot, the Cubs haven’t hit consistently for nearly a month, wasting some strong pitching performances along the way. The starters’ 3.09 ERA on Thursday was third-lowest in the majors, but the Cubs were only 8-10 since April 26 after a 17-9 start, scoring three runs or fewer in 10 of those games.
