1) Holland is your closer. Your best reliever. He believes it. The Royals believe it.
2) If you want to go back to the 80's and have a fireman, that's a different argument all together - and one which the MLB worked through in the 90s.
3) You had no one warming up.
4) Who were you going to bring in?

Good on 3 of the 4 points.. Holland lost the Royals the game tonight. After the 2nd walk if Yostie was serious about winning tonight someone would have been up. However, Yostie wasn't serious about winning tonight and it showed in the end.

I actually agree with leaving Holland in. You have to show confidence in your closer, no matter who it is.

As long as Yostie and Moore are comfortable with the outcome.
