I've been a Taillon supporter. As in people say that he sucks and I reply with "Oh huh!"

OTOH if we have to score 14 runs to win any game that he starts, they had better try someone else.

He’s one of those “you never get a second chance to make a first impression” guys. He was awful for the first half season right after he signed. He was quite good for his last 15 appearances in 23 and then put up very solid numbers each of the last two seasons, but a lot of Cubs fans never altered their opinion of him after those first 15ish starts.

this is very true. there are cub fans who have done this for a couple of others on the team. Seiya takes a lot of abuse online and he has been easily one of our most productive guys when you look at him in totality.

Let's discuss who's left on the roster to pitch in August and September (and October?)
With JT gone, what should our rotation be? What do we need to add?

I'd love another ground ball-oriented starter (or two) and a fire balling reliever. The other eight positions are well-manned by decent hitters and superior fielders (with the possible exception of right field where Suzuki is a very good hitter and a so-so fielder.)

So, what do we need to strengthen our non-pitching players? What can we afford to give up for that pitching and not cripple our future?
