9th Inning/10th inning Closer

Recommended Posts

Putting aside TLR's use of the bullpen.  I was wondering if managers are changing their thinking w closers. Some teams use their closer in the 9th in a tie game and others wait until a close opportunity arises. In some situations, the batting order may come into play as a manager may use the closer in top of 9th in a tie game if the meat of the order is due up.

But I wonder if the 10th inning w a runner at 2nd will start to change how a closer is used. Foe example, a manager that likes to use his closer in a tie game in the 9th ( home or away} may think it is better using him in the 10th ( if the game goes that far) since there is more pressure in the 10th w the runner on 2nd.
