Well this explains a lot. But I do and have played it at a fairly high level as a pitcher(starter not a closer). Baseball is such a mental game and especially with pitchers. You know immediately after the first 5-10 pitches(with closers only) whether they 'have it' or not. And when they don't have it you get them out especially with a 2 run lead in the 9th with no outs especially after walking the first 2 even if your remaining options are not as good because anyone else who can at least get the ball across the plate will make the opponent earn their win as opposed to being given the win is all I'm saying.
