$68,000,000 Cubs Ace Reiterates “Revenge Game” After Record-Breaking Win Against Ex-team: “It Does Feel Good”

It has been a season of surprises and bittersweet memories. The same were the scenes when the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees met this Friday. Jameson Taillon, who once played for the Pinstripes, played against them in an unusual meeting into the picture. Not only this, he also played a significant role on the mound in a big win, proving his critics wrong.

Given the player had an unusual exit from the Yankees setup, everyone expected his performance as an act of revenge. But Taillon has expressed this episode as something normal for a baseball player. He also shared thoughts on his experience with the Yankees, giving fans food for thought, which they expressed in their reactions to social media.

Jameson Taillon shut out his ex-team, the New York Yankees

It has been a tough season so far for Jameson Taillon. The right-hand pitcher recorded an ERA of 6.15 and could claim 63 strikeouts in all the appearances. He also holds a poor 3-6 win-loss record. Given a hefty $68 million contract, fans found his performances could have been better. But the 31- Year-Old proved his critics wrong by being the chief contributor to Cubs’ 3-0 win over the Yankees.

Taillon pitched perfectly to shut out the Yankees, helping his team win a first road game in New York. He pitched in eight innings, allowed a single hit, and claimed four strikeouts without giving a single run. Yankees Videos shared a clip of his conversation, describing the win otherwise amidst revenge calls.

Notably, Taillon reflected on the outing,” I mean I just needed an outing like this period.” He also contradicted the calls of a revenge game and shared his feelings about playing against his former team.

He said, “I have a lot of love for those guys over there, so it’s not like I wanted to stick it to them. This wasn’t like any sort of revenge game or anything like that.” In his concluding remarks, he subtly acknowledged both the victory and the game’s significance in New York City.

Taillon shared, “When you play with guys for a couple years, you’re in the trenches with them and there’s a lot of love for all those guys and staff and everyone over there. So I wasn’t thinking of this as like a revenge game or anything, but it does feel good on this stage in New York City to have a good night.”

Fans, too, expressed their thoughts on witnessing a former Yankee donning a different uniform.
