The time is now to ramp it up if the Chicago Cubs need to have a successful postseason–especially the pitching and the bullpen.
Let’s face it. The Chicago Cubs need the starting rotation and the bullpen to be excellent–because the offense hasn’t been impressive. With 11 games remaining– four at home–the pitching staff needs to be stellar. And that applies to the rest of the playoff teams, but especially the Cubs.
Jose Quintana will come out of the pen when he comes back from injury, adding another left-hander to the mix.
