[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1158647, member: 3164"] Good find. As Arteaga says, Miami has more often than not had a strong closer. That's not something we've had near as often at Tech, and some of our better closers have been two way players, which makes it hard to get them ready. Terry Busse, for the 1st couple months of the 2023 season, is the most recent reliable closer that we've had, but we went against the Miami philosophy and moved him into a starting role, where he bombed spectacularly. Some MLB teams are moving towards a philosophy of high leverage to low leverage situations. This is the idea that what inning it is doesn't matter, its more important what the run differential is and where you are in the opponents batting order. The difficulty with that is the implication that bullpen pitchers need to be ready mentally for larger parts of the game, and this can be taxing over a 162 game schedule. [/QUOTE]
