It's not an issue of being excited

Dude. They should be excited WHEN SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS. But the ball boy giving the ump a new set of balls isn’t something to leap out of your seat and cheer for. Neither is the can of corn your pitcher just hit. They get excited about anything and nothing.

Whoa...he just yanked the closer BEFORE he gave up a million runs

Which means he had another reliever getting ready before things got too bad.

See that, Geren? You can have a reliever warming up before the one in the game blows up.
