Cubs make another new opposing pitcher look like Cy Young.  Why?

Yesterday, the Cubs once again lost to a just-called up pitcher they'd never seen before. It seems like every time the Cubs face a pitcher that's new to them, they flail helplessly and make him look like Cy Young. Am I just imagining this? Does it happen to other teams, or is this like so many other things a uniquely Cubs phenomenon? If any of the analytics specialists out there cares to weigh in, I'd be interested to hear.
