I'm totally on board with the closer thing is damn overrated. Many times middle relievers come in for more pressure packed situations and harder pitching situations than closers. I am, however, not on board with not pitching a guy who has been THE best reliever in baseball in a stretch run in an game that is 3 runs or less. That makes NO sense.
