Cole really wasn't our closer in 18. He was more middle relief who could close. People forget Cole was actually terrible for a lot of that 18 season. Blew a bunch of games and got SHELLED against Oklahoma in the Friday game of that regional. Then we had to use him for middle relief against Oklahoma on the Sunday game of the regional because Denver got hit in the palm of his throwing hand and then put out a big fire against Vandy in Game 3. He didn't become closer until 19.
