Anyone who is good can get 3 outs. It's the times you don't get it done that you need a certain mindset to be confident the next time. It is nebulous though.

But I digress... ;) Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the role of closers? Do you think that closers are just another arm in the bullpen, trying to get outs? People often agree that the last three outs are the hardest to get, more pressure, etc... does any of that apply to RISP? Always thought provoking, thanks and keep up the good work.
