More likely trying to get him the win.

He’d only allowed 1 run after all. That Scioscia’s giving him the hook actually says a lot about how badly he wants this game.

I WAS ready to give Panther to the clubhouse door, because without the ever-important door there would have been no door to CLOSE for The Soth to impart his wisdom. Did not Garland realize the signficance of a CLOSED door, that he was to give at least 5 half-way decent innings?
