Bruce Levine talks Ian Happ's hot hitting and future with Cubs

Bruce Levine joins the Mully & Haugh Show to break down the early season performances of both the Cubs and White Sox, focusing on standout pitching and offensive momentum. He praises Edward Cabrera’s dominant start, highlighting his effective use of the four-seamer and a rare 94 mph changeup, as well as his adaptation to the electric atmosphere at Wrigley Field. On the Cubs’ side, Bruce discusses Ian Happ’s hot hitting streak, attributing it to both personal motivation and the emotional weight of potentially playing his final season in Chicago after a decade-long tenure. He notes Happ’s confidence, the team’s faith in him, and the looming uncertainty around his future beyond this year. Meanwhile, the White Sox’s offensive resurgence is led by Miguel Vargas’ six-RBI performance, with optimism around Davis Martin’s consistency and Merrick Fetty’s potential return to form. Bruce also emphasizes the Cubs’ preparedness for windy conditions, their patient approach at the plate, and the depth of their lineup, including contributions from the bottom of the order. The segment closes with a lighthearted review of the seventh-inning stretch and Craig Council’s humorous pregame rating of the pitcher.
