I have more trust in him starting a clean 9th Than the situation he was put in today. You also have crochet and if need be kopech in extras. Get to extras with the weird extra inning rule and see what happens. At some point he will need to be trusted in those situations. Better to find out now. Its not unheard of to have a closer pitch in a non save situation. To assume he would be wild starting a clean inning is not fair. The 2 scenarios require two different mind sets. Closers are weird. You put them in best possible situation to succeed and that was not it
