I agree 100% that to go into next season counting on Schreiber to duplicate this year, and to count on Houck as the full time closer would be a mistake. I trust Whitlock more than either one of them, and even then you don’t know if he could close either. I think getting a reliable closer would be the best way to go. Label them anyway you want, but to me they are just part of the BP.

It’s not the role being made up, but when is the last time, or at all has the term relief Ace been used on any broadcast, or anywhere else? You keep avoiding, and answering that question. Thanks for asking about my eye test. Came out fine.
What to hell does how they are using Schreiber got to do with the term relief Ace being used.That may be how Schreiber is being used, but who is using relief Ace to describe anyone?
All I have said I Have Never Heard that term before, and I have not. I never said you made it up. When is the last time outside of here you have read, or heard it used? Just asking?
I have no idea when I heard the word closer, but I do know when I heard the term relief Ace. I’m surprised ECK has never used that, or any other announcers for that matter. Radtz could have been used for any term that has described a relief pitcher. He did everything.
Everything has to have a label, or a number these days. There used to be either starters, or reliever. You don’t see many good teams without a good closer.
This all seems to be about nothing. Like I said earlier I have watched thousands of Baseball games, watched Sports Center millions of times, and also the baseball channel just to name a few, and I have never heard the term relief Ace used before until on here. And if there were ever such a thing as a relief Ace Dick Radtz would be it.
