Closer in the 8th:
Good to see Brenly use Kim in the 8th. The heart of the Yankees order was up, and Kim struck out Williams, Giambi and Posada. Most managers would have gone with a setup man because it wasn't the 9th. A closer should be your best relief pitcher, and come in for the tough situation, whether it's the 8th or the 9th, or even earlier if the situation warrants.
