Bring in the Closer?

Kevin Gregg Marlins

What a heart-breaking week it has been for Marlins fans. We could of won the Met series.... We could of won the Phillies series.....Now the Braves. Last nights lost killed me. I have never been a fan a bringing in the closer in the 9th inning if your current pitcher is going fine. I just don't get it. Is it a money thing? The stupid pitch count? Why take someone out of a game if they are doing fine. Hey, I understand if you have a righty in there and all lefties are up, but, just to bring in someone BECAUSE they are your closer shuts down a lot of your options. I'm going to stay positive though, remember, the Marlins are supposed to finish in last place. A 1 1/2 games out a first place at this point in time is A OK.
