Yeah, KP was amazed they didn't bring the closer in in the 7th then he was opposed to bringing the closer in in the 8th (before Florida scored all their runs in the 8th). Burke contended that you bring in your closer in a 2 run game with 6 outs to get after your young guys nearly blew the lead in the 7th. KP thought they got out of the inning so no need to burn the closer, which I thought was bizarre given how vehemently he derided Sulli for not using him in the 7th.
It was a case of one broadcaster focusing on winning a tournament and another on winning a game. My objection is the frequent references to Byrne having a rubber arm. I suppose you do until you don’t. Pretty sure he has a human arm.
