Arguably true. I believe Boone felt he could use Garcia as a decoy, whereas that would not apply to Holder. I also believe he saw it as a way for Garcia to lose his cherry with minimal risk... A decoy? You must have a different definition of decoy. Someone is either on the mound or not. The second part of your post makes the most sense - if Garcia is scheduled for another start. Part of the strategy was to allow Happ to face a bunch of left handed hitters, but he was supposed to get them out. |

So that move results in 2.2 IP and 4 ER on 2 HR pending on how this better goes. Ottavino in an important AB.

What are the chances Ottavino strands the runners here?  |

CB Sucknor. He is bad.

Probably in that order of crappiness, but there’s not much difference between them...

By decoy, I meant as a decoy for a pitcher who was intended to be on the mound for the duration of the game (or at least 6-7 innings). As such, the Rays would set the lineup with the expectation of seeing him 2-4 times. Then the Yanks with the sudden switch to a left hander... In that case, we are going to decoy them for the next five innings... |

What the f$*K was Boone thinking? I hate when managers outthink themselves.

What are the chances Ottavino strands the runners here? A talented pitcher. He’s had some time off. Let’s hope he got himself right in that time. He does a lot of self-analyzing, working out by himself. We need him... |

Nice play, Clint? What can we say? We know the talent is there, but we also know the danger...
