Is it possible Maddon has changed his pitching management plans because of this?

I get the logic about the 3rd and 4th trips through the order, but I’m curious if there is a floor of a number of pitches that starters need to throw for their arm health? Lackey exiting with 60-70 pitches, for example.

The one thing that does concern me is the bullpen management. There’s just no consistent work yet, and at some point I feel like it’s going to haunt the Cubs.
