Pitch counts...set up guy...set sup the set up guy....left handed reliever to lefty hitters only...long relief guy......"closer"...and one or two more just in casers.
Man it's goofy now....and I agree. Unless the guy is tiring....no reason to take an effective pitcher out just because it's a "close" situation.
It isn't....it's a "win the game logically" situation.
