The fact that Garza was ready to bat tells me that he wasn't really hurt or didn't want out of the game at all. A player will never ask out of a game, they play hurt all the time as a point of pride. Of course he didn't want or ask to be taken out. It's the manager and coaching staff's job to protect them from further/more severe injury in certain instances. I get that, but was he even talking to a trainer at all in the dugout prior to getting his helmet on and grabbing his bat?
