So, after going 1-12 with RISP on Tuesday, Cubs today go 1-15 with RISP.

Not good.

Only bad thing I saw was Vargas trying to bunt 3 times.  After the first attempt, Rossy should have seen that the guy had no clue and put a pitcher up there.  Just sayin.

Someone refresh my memory...is Steele permanently a bullpen guy now, or is this a temporary thing?

I don't think that there are usually official pronouncements about things like that, but I suspect that he is there for the duration.

Keegan has 95 mph velo? Didn't realize he threw that hard... is that because he's coming out of the pen?

He had a velocity jump, but he doesn’t seem to be able to miss bats.

Cubs currently have three quality bullpen lefties.

Approaching four, depending on what one thinks of Wieck.

Minor league numbers and write-ups give the impression that some k-ability is there. Will be interesting to see when those begin to materialize at the major league level.

I don’t like this no lineup and no recap from Bennett.  I thought maybe he made a mistake about game time.  He should have posted by now though, even though no game today.  Bennett?

In case anyone is interested, the Cubs beat the Tigers 4 - 2.  Bryant with a two run homer.  Arrieta the winner, and Kimbrel with 3 straight strike outs to end the ball game.

Rizzo doubles them both in and Cubs take a 2 - 0 lead into bottom first.

27 pitches in the first, era up to 6.47, 3 runs in the first.  He’s got to go.
