00:00But you know who's really earning his money is Nico Horner.
00:03His numbers are unbelievable.
00:05And he had five RBI last night.
00:07And you look at the way that he is playing and his line, 324, 410, 507.
00:17Are you kidding me?
00:18I mean, seriously, that's not just, oh, he's got a good war.
00:22He's got a good everything.
00:23He's got a good everything.
00:24Since he has signed the contract, it's like he got paid
00:27and now he's just getting started.
00:29And he is doing it all defensively.
00:33He's running the bases.
00:34And he's hitting for a little bit more slug than he has in previous years.
00:39And it's almost as if you look at the – you attach things, obviously,
00:43the contract signing.
00:45And you don't want to say a weight – there's no weight that has been lifted.
00:50But he has just taken it up a notch from last year.
00:54I mean, he's proven himself worthy of the contract.
00:57I mean, it's easy to say that now, and we'll see how his season goes.
01:03But his seasons have gone well.
01:05He's a good player.
01:07And as you say, he looks like he's hitting his prime and getting better,
01:11which is always – he's also a really competitive guy.
01:15So you want guys like that on your team.
01:17He's a must-listen every Tuesday on the afternoon show.
01:20So he talks about his process.
01:22He definitely gives you some insight into the clubhouse.
01:27And as I said, he talked to reporters yesterday.
01:30I think it might have been in one of the papers or maybe it's Cubs.com
01:33with just about always tweaking his adjustment,
01:36always finding ways to gain an extra edge.
01:40And you certainly see that in his approach.
01:42And nobody takes the game more seriously than Nico Horner.
01:45It's just fun to watch.
