Craig Counsell Pressing All The Right Buttons: New Hero Steps Up in Chicago Cubs Bullpen

The Chicago Cubs have won 14 of their last 18 games, and while they certainly have talent up and down the roster to go on a run like this, you have to consider all the pitching injuries that make the 14-4 stretch even more impressive. This week started with the fan base having had enough of right-handed reliever Jacob Webb, but on Friday, he became the newest bullpen hero for Craig Counsell.

Starter Colin Rea turned in another solid performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Friday’s series opener.
