What do you have to say about that, Tim McCarver? Did Neftali Feliz deserve that award?
I think, in Neftali Perez, the Texas Rangers have found themselves an outstanding relief pitcher, a pitcher who can come in at the end of a game, when relief pitchers normally come into games, in the eighth inning or the ninth, or even, sometimes, the tenth inning, and get batters out, which is what you want from a pitcher, specifically a relief pitcher, which is what Neftali Perez is. They call that “closing out games,” which is why some people would refer to Perez as a “closer.”
(Sorry. This guy does that shtick wayyyy better than me.)
