Why did Boone take Garcia out after only 1 inning? He only gave up the one run.
I must have missed something...

(3,475 posts)1. I think it was just to catch Tampa off guard
Their offensive line-up was set up to face right-handed Garcia.

Then in the second inning, brought in Happ, a lefty.
Doesn't seem to be working though

One of the announcers say that with pitching Boone had played possum, which I interpret (naively) to mean that it was a strategic trick?
Looking forward to wiser & better informed posters to school us on this?

TB sent out a Left handed line up to face Garcia. 2nd inning bring in LHP,
TB stuck with lefties facing lefty pitcher.
Gamesmanship 101.
