I think Motte is our closer now. If Maddon were still all about matchups in the 9th, Motte wouldn't be pitching. didn't grimm just close out a game where motte came in with the game tied? That was in extras. Right. But Motte came in to a tied game. I think that was just Maddon not being a typical idiot manager, and he used his best pitcher available (in his mind) in a tie game and didn't wait for a lead. With the way he's handled things lately, it looks like it's Rondon in the 7th, Strop 8th, and Motte 9th.
