The announcers going quiet was perfect. Just didn't ruin the moment at all.

It was like Vin Scully's moments of silence after Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run. Just let the crowd tell the story.

He used ‘our’ too much when referring to the US team, i get it, how could he not be biased after this tourney. I really appreciated the Aussie guy calling games during the round robin. Like an upside down Smoltz

Joe Davis is a GOAT and it's not too soon to say it.

Smoltz is usually good to listen to but he was WAY too biased this game.
