But what if you come back from 4 down, and don't quite get there? And lose by one?
If they lose this game 3-2, what do you blame?
Besides not crushing the starter like they should of.

Going 1-7 with RISP
Lack of execution ( couldn't move runners over, lay down a bunt late)
Bullpen couldn't hold a 1 run lead late

If this is how they lost the majority of their close low scoring games, then no it's not a good thing.

Cubs have 5 blown saves tied for first in the majors with the Yankees.

I liked our pen when we started the year, but wished Ramirez wasn't hurt.

As it played out, he wasn't good enough to stay on the team, and we have a parade of guys who look like last year's mess.

In spite of my point that Chapman would be closer, I like Rendon. And Strop. But this has been a mess. I look forward to seeing how they address it in July.

9 teams. It was great them getting shut out by a guy with a 5.50 ERA against one of the best pitchers in baseball.

I would think Baez sits tom. 0-6 is a rough night

I am more upset that we havent hit a bullpen that has been historically bad.

Ok..

My original responses wasn't directed towards the Cubs but towards Beck statement that it a good thing to be in close games even if you lose most of them...

So, Wood is going to pitch to the lefty and then bring Patton back for the righty. I have never seen this before.

Saw Whitey Herzog put his relief pitcher in the OF to skip one batter, but he didn't flip flop another pitcher out there.

If we get to the 15th, we better get a ton of runs.
