He was injured in the 1st game (broken arm maybe, I don't remember the details), and was out for several months. He didn't start 2 games in a month until late July. By that time, Boone was back in the driver's seat and Oates would depart after the season.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
