WASHINGTON -- Next time the bullpen phone rings in a save situation for Joe Maddon's Cubs, it's anybody's guess which reliever will be instructed to get up.
"How's like, 'Be ready to pitch in the last three innings'?" Maddon said after Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Nationals. "If you're keeping score, you know when the seventh, eighth and ninth is popping up. I've been through that. I think it's a product of millennials. It's that generation that needs definition consistently."
The Cubs took three of four from the Nationals this weekend and used three different pitchers to earn the saves.
