"The Cubs have proven it, too, and they're almost unbeatable when their bullpen is clicking. This year's bullpen has already blown four leads in 10 games."
"All except Milner (.794) have an OPS against that exceeds 1.000, which isn't good even considering the limited number of outings."
"The entire pitching staff has allowed 36 earned runs this season, 44.4% of which have come from the meat and potatoes of their relief corps."
"The NL Central has quietly become the toughest division in baseball, and things will compound quickly if not nipped in the bud."
The Cubs' bullpen has already blown four leads in just ten games, raising concerns about their performance. Key relievers like Phil Maton and Hunter Harvey have allowed 12 earned runs in 15 innings. The pitching staff has given up 36 earned runs, with 44.4% from the bullpen. Despite their struggles, these players have a history of better performance. The NL Central is highly competitive, and the Cubs cannot afford to lose games early in the season, as they are already four games off the pace.
