Pick 6: How do you rate Jameson Taillon's performance?

In this episode of the Mully & Haugh Show, the hosts dive into Jameson Taillon's performance in the Cubs' opening series against the Angels, assessing his early-season outing under challenging weather conditions at Wrigley Field. While acknowledging his 85-pitch effort, four walks, and two hits allowed, they express cautious optimism, noting his improved performance compared to spring training and the favorable pitching conditions. The discussion shifts to Ian Happ’s contract year, with both hosts agreeing he’s playing well but doubting the Cubs will extend him, especially given his no-trade clause and the team’s financial strategy. They speculate that his future with the Cubs may be limited, despite his strong start and defensive excellence. The conversation then turns to Eric Fetty’s return to the White Sox, where he delivered a solid but unspectacular fifth-starter performance, seen as a temporary stopgap while young pitchers develop. The hosts express concern over the Sox’s fundamental errors and lack of defensive cohesion. Finally, they analyze the Bears’ upcoming NFL draft, focusing on the left tackle position and the need for defensive reinforcements, with skepticism about drafting a tackle at #25 unless a top-tier player falls unexpectedly. The episode closes with a lighthearted debate over the term 'yoked up' as used by coach Ben Johnson.
