" Face it, if Boo goes down we are a very one dimensional team that will have problems. The 1st three games showed this."
Excuse me but I believe the second game was against Toledo where Bates wasn't the one dimension in that game of pick pick pick. Let us resolve to not revise actual history.
True, but Bates had taken the Lion's share of the reps, and when he went down, Boo and his shoulder got all the reps, and his shoulder was not strong enough and he entered the game with a tired arm and it showed. Toledo, Boo was a bandaid who had not had the time and reps to step into that role, and what we were doing offensivelly was geared to Phil's strengths not Boo's. No revisionist history here.
