Because real life MLB managers wouldn't do that, just reiterates their overvaluation of the closer role and their willingness to lose the game because the closer would be pissed if taken out of a close game when he just sucks.
Again, nothing wrong with the AI decision. The problem in this case are the decisions by real MLB managers.
