I'm not a bitter man (this is completely untrue, I'm more bitter than a pint of Guinness cut with Iodine), but the more I convince myself about the bad luck and/or general cosmic misalignment that caused the Jays to underperform their various expected records, the more I resent the Angels

Mike Scioscia's Suicidal Squeeze

Thu, 9 Oct 2008 16:15:00 +1900

If there's one commandment that all Major League managers should follow I think it's probably this: put your players in position to win baseball games and then let them win it. The worst managers are the ones that try to insert their own strategic visions on teams where simple performance from ...

Mike Scioscia Defends His Suicide Squeeze

Thu, 9 Oct 2008 16:15:00 +1900

Looking back on game four of the ALDS between the Angels and Red Sox, there's one clear moment during the game that we can blame the Angels loss on. That would be the suicide squeeze Mike Scioscia called for from Erick Aybar in the 9th inning with Reggie Willits on third and one out. As we're ...

The Squeeze

Wed, 8 Oct 2008 10:42:42 +1900

Ok, let's just get the squeeze out of the way. It was an idiotic, indefensible play and one that illuminates what I have long suspected; that there is an egocentrism to the way Mike Scioscia goes about his work. On the one hand, I cannot blame him. He has a career .551 win percentage and a ...

Boston Bullpen

Wed, 8 Oct 2008 10:42:42 +1900

As bad as Mike Scioscia was last night, Terry Francona was not much better. His bullpen management was curious at best, but one positive that may have emerged from the evening is that he might now realize that Manny Delcarmen is a really good pitcher. After not using him in the first two ...

Don't blame Mike Scioscia for calling bunt that squeezes Angels out of playoffs

Tue, 7 Oct 2008 13:10:00 +1900

You have to think it's a decision that will haunt Mike Scioscia all winter, and maybe longer. A manager can't be more wrong than when a call for a suicide squeeze likely costs him a game, and in this case, a playoff series.

Mon, 6 Oct 2008 23:00:36 +1900

There was much debate a day ago, before Game 3, about whether or not Angels manager Mike Scioscia guaranteed a victory. While being asked to compare his team's plight to that of the already defeated Cubs, Scioscia wouldn't do it...

Admit it: After Torii Hunter’s two-run single to tie the game in the 8th inning, you thought the Red Sox were gonna lose that game. And after the Angels led off the 9th inning with a double, you DEFINITELY thought the Angels were going to win and that we’d face the sickening reality ...

Mike Scioscia wants Angels to play to their potential - Los Angeles Times

Sat, 4 Oct 2008 09:36:22 +1900

What frustrates Manager Mike Scioscia about the Angels' recent postseason struggles isn't so much the nine-game playoff losing streak after Friday's 7-5 loss to Boston, but the manner in which they lost most of those games, playing nowhere close to their potential. "The [Red Sox] are a terrific ...

"Vlad is running well, and once he gets going, he can go from first to third," Scioscia said. "Unfortunately, that was a tougher read than what it looked like from the press box and stands. If Youkilis doesn't get that ball on one hop, Vlad gets to third." Though Guerrero's gamble backfired, ...
