It's how relievers used to be used. Pitch 3 or 4 innings if need be. I agree that there can be a designated 9th inning guy, but I think that guy is made more effective if you have a proper stopper like Miller who is the real shut down guy, not just a "setup" man. Then you kind of remove the unpredictability of the bullpen pitcher. You establish the 2 guys. Stopper and 9th inning guy, and the rest of them fill out the gaps. You should also not be afraid to use the stopper come the 9th inning if that's when you're going to need him.
