Tauchman hits first Cubs home run, continues to make noise at leadoff spot. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Maybe it's too soon to start bringing up Dexter Fowler, but the Cubs found a solution that works in the leadoff spot.
"That's just like one of the 'baseball god' things," Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon said."You make a sick play to end an inning, you lead off the next inning with a big hit or homer. He's been awesome for us ever since he came up." by signing up you agree to our terms of service "When we tried to just mix things up, I put up there because the on-base is significant, especially against some righties," Cubs manager David Ross said."Then it just worked. It's an, 'If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it' kind of thing. Nico really fits nicely in the two ."
Tauchman, 32, spent time with the Rockies, Yankees and Giants and spent a year in Korea before joining the Cubs this year. So batting leadoff isn't anything new. "We have some stability in our lineup," Hoerner said."Obviously Belli helps that a lot and then Tauchman's been incredibly consistent. I think those lefty bats are really valuable. I think there's going to be a lot of productive offensive games this summer here at Wrigley."
