David Ross Just Looking for Some Relievers to ‘Get Outs, Throw Strikes’
The season is only a week old, but the Cubs are already making moves to address the long-running issue of a bullpen that can’t seem to throw enough strikes. Repeated failures by multiple pitchers have led to identical 9.64 marks in both ERA and BB/9, both of which sit well above the next-worst unit in each category.
Cubs bullpen has walked 20 of the 95 batters they've faced, 21.1% walk rate. ERA is 9.64. Not great!
