He’s been so awful all year that he had nowhere to go but up, but Taillon has actually been pretty good his last five or six starts. Granted 3 of those were against St Lou and Washington but it’s something. makes up for Stroman being god-awful against everyone .

Taillon is fine right now. I am way more worried about Smyly. He has not been good. They cannot keep rolling him out there.

I can't remember what show it was (maybe Rosie's Wake and Bake), but it was stated that the Cubs tried to add a pitch to his repertoire. When he ditched it is when he started improving.

This is what an actual contending playoff team looks like.

well they can beat shit teams and teams in the division but they can't beat the elite teams in baseball. Not just beat, but can't even compete.

I am flabbergasted. I really thought they were going to win out the rest of the season.

They should call up one of the MANY talented 25yr old CFs they’ve stashed away in the minors.

May get them over the hump.

At least Wesneski is competitive out there. I'm tired of Hendricks and his garbage BP 89 MPH fastball. He doesn't have a good slider or curve either. Get rid of him.

Now that the Candyman is back, Hendricks is no longer the only player from 2016. Dump him.
