Cusb Closer Comments On Terrible Stretch After Blowing Another Save

Jacob Webb, a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, has been struggling mightily in the bullpen. His team's offense is among the best in baseball, but their bullpen has been their Achilles heel. Since August, the Cubs' bullpen has posted a 4.00 ERA and a 4.22 ERA during the last month alone. In that time, they have blown six saves. On Tuesday night, Webb came in with a two-run lead in the ninth inning, but his performance soon deteriorated.

He struck out two batters before facing pinch hitter Christian Yelich, who delivered a single. Jackson Chourio then responded with a homer to tie the game with two outs remaining. This marked Webb's third consecutive failed save opportunity. After the game, Webb attributed his errors to poor location, acknowledging that there is always room for improvement.

He expressed his frustration at letting his team down, especially when facing home runs. The Cubs' chances of catching the Brewers in the standings have become increasingly slim, and the team must now focus on addressing their bullpen plan for October. With no true closer on the roster, Craig Counsell is uncomfortable relying on the bullpen at any point during a game.

The Brewers have faced the Cubs six times in the past nine days, and each time, they have opted to wait until the end of the game, capitalizing on their ability to overpower the Cubs' bullpen. The Brewers have secured two consecutive victories through late-inning comebacks.
