Miracle win. Time to rethink the closer. Pretty clear Marshall is not up to the job. Chapman can't go in back to back days (hmm, maybe a guy like that should be starting..naw, that makes too much sense). Maybe, just maybe there shouldn't be a designated closer. Nope, that might make some of these kiddies upset and Dusty doesn't like it when his players don't like his decisions.

As has been stated many times, closer closes. This is Dusty. You have to designate a closer and use him every time there is a save opportunity. Sure, a save is an incredibly arbitrary stat with no bearing on anything, but per the book of Dusty if there is a save to be had the closer must be used. There also must be only 1 guy as the closer. You cannot deviate from that.

ummm..you're 100% correct...But Duh-sty Fucktard Baker is the guy paid to make that call and we all know he's not capable of making the choice of blowing his nose or picking it without a brain hemmorage.

I hate that fuctard almost as much as I hate scUM.
