I'll tack on a not that useful, but really annoying situation, this from even 6.12 in my online league, just happened yesterday.

Bot 9th, playoff game, up 1-0, but facing elimination. Starter hits 1st guy up, gets the hook... 5* all-star closer with repeated sub 2 ERA seasons... sits. As the 4.8 ERA lefty setup man comes in to face a righty hitter.

One pitch, HR, my season is over.

I also understand the plight of long-term effects of the closer not getting the save, but in this situation, not even Grady Little would have screwed that call to the bullpen up.
