The Cubs have lost the first 8 games that Jameson Taillon has started this season.
That is tied for the 3rd-most consecutive losses when a pitcher starts to begin a season in Cubs history.
Think about that for a minute in relation to the “anti-awful” comments that I just posted in other thread.
Taillon is just one guy. But, he has a ERA OF 8.00 and Cubs 0-8 in his starts and he’s actually a pretty good pitcher going into 2023.
If Cubs were 4-4 in Taillon’s starts or 5-3, Cubs would be in first place right now. That’s what ONE awful performance can do.
Of course, you can’t really play that game because have to take the bad with the good—we all know that—but anti-awful is really, really important so can get fuller benefit from the guys performing well, such as Swanson and others.
Taillon is a good example so far.
