Yep -- the numbers show that the game is virtually over no matter who comes in. If you're a fan watching and Rivera gets a save, of course the tendency is to credit Rivera, but the real question for the student of the game is what happens in alternative scenarios.

Exactly, and the David Smith study says that it's pretty much the same in the situations that Mariano was coming in to pitch.
