Last night, with the game in the balance, M's skipper Eric Wedge turned to Hisashi Iwakuma to slam the door and secure a series win against division rival Texas. Despite giving up three runs, Iwakuma rose to the occasion and recorded the save. Not only did he record "the hardest three outs," (not really) but he also recorded six others. That's right, Hisashi Iwakuma earned a save in the Mariner's nail-biting 21-8 win over the Texas Rangers. Check out the must-see highlights of his dominating performance here.
That's why closers are so important, because they get the hardest three (or nine, or one, or what have you) outs--even if the leverage index of those outs are microscopic. That's why saves are worth 8 points in the PFBL. That's why saves are the one way to subvert the IP maximum in the PFBL. That's why every MLB closer must be owned in the PFBL.
That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
