Why is that a Batesole?

That's the FSU head coach. They were up 2 in the 3rd game when we came up to bat. He made a pitching change near the start of the inning. Our boys proceeded to pound that pitcher hit after hit. Their coach left him in, nobody warming up, and we ended up scoring 6 runs in the inning (the winning runs). Everyone, except him, thought he left the pitcher in too long, and it cost him the game.

OK

But, that was the final game so he wasn’t saving the bullpen for anything. 
And Larson had been their prime long relief guy all season, certainly not the bottom of their bullpen.
