Maddux: 'Closing Is The Hardest Job'

Greg Maddux believes that the role of closer is the toughest job in baseball, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
"When the closer messes up, you lose," Maddux said Wednesday after closer Trevor Hoffman blew a save on Tuesday. "Anyone here can go 0-for-4 ? you can still win. A starting pitcher can get knocked out in the fifth ? you can still win. A reliever can come in and walk the two guys he faces ? you can still win."
"Mentally, closing's got to be the hardest job in baseball," Maddux added.
