Rays 10, Indians 7 (box) Eric. Please. Please. Please. Just let Rafael Perez be your closer. Yes, the bullpen as a whole is God awful. Epic fail. I get that. But when you have yet another quality start by Jeremy Sowers (who was overmatched on paper against Scott Kazmir), you simply cannot allow your 'pen to blow this game. Yes, I know that Perez had already tossed two innings. And he had two innings not long before then. But enough is enough. Over the last five appearances by Perez, he has tossed nine and a third innings. He has struck out 12, while walking none. Zero. He's only allowed two hits, and - needless to say - has allowed no batters to cross the plate. If yesterday's game really was one of the worst defeats of the season (which is saying an awful lot given that we have 64 of them to choose from), it's time you make a decision and let Perez handle the final innings...
