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... One problem is that if the Yanks start Garcia in game 4, we don't know how a 20 year old is going to handle it. This is all new to him. Plus a start here is with a series lead of 1-0 if the blows it up and it causes them to lose series is 1-1, by game 4 its either going to be a clincher game or season on the line which are both a lot more pressure. Well this game is far from over they can still win this one. |

But using him as an opener tonight at least got them a chance to see how he handled it. Also got the kid the post-season experience. I at least believe I “Get” what the plan was, even if I don’t like it... |

Openers have always been relievers, not a bonafide starter. They could have thrown Holder for the first inning. 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. |

ESPN is giving the Stanton HR distance as 458... How did Mantle ever hit one 565? And another off a facade that some said might have gone 600 ft if not for the facade? Wow...

My son & I were talking so loud after the HR, I didn't hear this quote from Darling.

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... |

Same reason he was the fastest player from home to first. That type of athlete is just not born more than once or so per century. |
