Why are closers so bad in this game? When I am simulating, I see so many blown saves in the 9th inning. In my estimation, 1/3 of one-run games are coughed up in the 9th. This is too much. Not only that, I've seen huge leads given up in the 9th inning. Countless times, I have seen a team up say, 8-3, and give up five runs to go to extras or even six runs to lose. I happens way too often. Stuff like this should happen only once or twice per season. I've seen it happen a few times in just one year of playoffs.

I guess the one good thing about this is that no matter how big a lead, no lead is safe. So it at least keeps a 6-2 game in the 9th inning exciting.
