I have absolutely never seen that in a major league game. Lower levels, yes, but never in the majors.

The Cubs have used a catcher and two pitchers in LF tonight.
So far.

If they don't allow it next time, just pay a visit to the mound while your LF plays catch with the Cf. (Or bullpen catcher)

To answer your question, they have been entirely inconsistent with RISP. Some games they score 7 some games they go 0-12 or w/e. I mean take tonight. They've scored 2 runs. Giving up 1 run in 5.2 IP in relief tonight isn't the problem. You just have to score more than that vs a bad team.
Honestly I'm tired of talking about the bullpen so this is the last thing I'm going to say with regard to it. All of this talk is prep for the playoffs. The overwhelming majority of teams that win in the playoffs do so off the back of dominant starting pitching. How many teams can you name who had average starters and won based on their bullpen? Only one that comes to my mind are the Royals lately. Almost every other team was a Pedro/Schilling or Schilling/Big Unit style team. In other words, it's not a necessity to win. I've already outline they aren't terrible just more average and I've already outlined they will probably add some help.

I didn't have a question...
I wasn't referring to the Cubs in my original response to you.
Just saying in general its not always a good thing being in a lot of close games if you're losing most of them...
It depends on how their losing the majority of those games
That is all.....
