Jameson Taillon threw only 37 of 63 pitches for strikes Sunday.

Three games into a 162-game season prompted the search for some assessments, and Jameson Taillon provided an awkward forecast into the Cubs’ season.

“When we’re in the strike zone, we’re going to be pretty good,” Taillon said. “We got a lot of good arms, and lot of different looks we can show.”

Unfortunately for Taillon and the Cubs, their lack of sharpness proved to be a major flaw in two setbacks, most recently a 9-5 loss Sunday to the Brewers at Wrigley Field.
