mop-up (operation) Explanation: When a baseball team is getting defeated, the manager doesn't want to use a good reliever (so-called "closer"). So, another pitcher goes to the mound to finish the game. This is a mop-up. The reference below is an article about Yabu, who is always used as a mop-up reliever.
