It was announced before last night’s game that Junior Lake was headed back to Iowa in order to make room for Brian Schlitter to rejoin the bullpen. This was met with a surprising degree of angst from many Cubs twitter users, at least among the people I follow. While I totally agree with the frustration in watching Schlitter pitch this season, it seemed like a completely necessary move after the heavy load that the bullpen had in each of the first three games of the Reds series. I would be pretty surprised if Schlitter isn’t sent back down within a few days.
