Cubs rookie Jordan Wicks has made sure to make the most of veteran right-hander Jameson Taillon’s openness.
“You can ask him any question about anything,” Wicks said in a recent conversation with the Sun-Times. “Like, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ And he’ll tell you the straight, honest truth. He’s not going to sugarcoat it.”
So, after a four-home run outing against the Dodgers last week, Wicks sought out Taillon’s perspective.
As Wicks tells it, Taillon shared his own experiences as a young player and the importance of not overreacting to bad starts; they’re going to happen.
