Employment as a big league reliever certainly has its perks.
For starters, you get to hang with your buds for like six, seven innings on a normal night and literally kick your feet up and chill. Nowadays when relievers are called upon for duty, most guys throw 20-30 pitches and call it a night. Then you get to hang out with the bros you hadn’t seen for six innings. And you probably get the next day off too!
As cushy as being a reliever can sound, its requirements are equally unrelenting.
I’ve seen firsthand how easy a target the bullpen is for the obnoxious genre of fan.
