Can the Cubs Maintain Their Unstoppable Streak Against the Rockies?
It has been a good season for the Cubs, but there is a little black cloud hanging over Wrigley off in the distance. It kind of feels like a situation no one wants to address, and maybe that’s a good thing during the year, but Kyle Tucker is playing better than expected for the team, and they don’t seem to be in negotiation with him. Frankly, if I was the GM, I would’ve secured an extension with him the day I traded away multiple talented players for Tucker. Pete Crow-Armstrong looks like a great young talent for the team, and the rest of the club is even playing well. But, if the owners don’t open the wallet for Tucker, all of this great season is fairly pointless. For today, let’s just think about Jameson Taillon. Taillon is 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. With his WHIP that low, if he can keep it that way, I fully expect him to improve his results. He has posted a quality start in three of his past four outings, and four of his past five. Rockies hitters haven’t done much against him, with a .209 average in 43 at-bats.
