I know the prevailing talking point on FAN and the like tomorrow will be Boone's handling of the pen, but there's only so much that can be done when the team only scores 2 runs in 11 innings.
Exactly this.
I had no problem with how Boone managed last night. I'd have pulled Paxton early too. You're facing Verlander, you can't afford to give up any runs, while I was still in the car it didn't sound like Paxton had his best stuff. Obviously, Ottavino didn't get the job done, but it's not like he was facing Baltimore.
If LaMahieu is a second faster or held up at third, maybe we're having a completely different conversation today. But overall, the offense failed in multiple chances.
