Burns hasnt ever been considered the closer type. He is in the same role as Grubbs, Duplantier, and possibly Saunier. Would like to see Saunier get the game 2 start., but that doesn't seem to be Schloss and Weiner plan. I have no problem with their plan as we are off to one of our best starts in 20 yrs or so.
Riojas, Moffett, Navarre are the ones that were more likely to be closer type. Hamiltom is another one. Volantis is the closest we have.
The issue has been Mercer and McCreery haven't been able to throw strikes, thus they haven't pitched in awhile. Howard is slowly showing some promise.
Will go by what Craig/Roger and Keith say on the pitch count.
Missouri may have used 6 pitchers, but 1 was a position player and was very effective. Saving most of their other arms for Saturday.
