A reporter needs to ask Scioscia who called for that bunt after the game

[Halos of Anaheim]

If Scioscia called for it and is man enough to admit it, he deserves to be fired solely on that.

 

Conger hits a two bagger with two outs his previous at bat (with no runners on), then ''surprise bunts'' Conger with two outs (with runners on 2nd and 3rd), it had a Scioscia-esque play written all over it.

[Angel Oracle]

Trade Scioscia to the Nats for Drew Storen, and hope this season was just recovery from his 2012 injury.

He is still only 26, and saved 43 games in 2011.    Maybe he regains his closer stuff in 2014?

Two problems solved with one trade. 

Scioscia goes to an NL team, where bunty ball belongs; and the Halos get a potential closer with much better command than Frieri.

I'd jizz myself if that happened. Most likely we release/promote Scoscia or trade him for a can of Spaghetti-O's, which I'd be perfectly fine with.

The whole "trade Scioscia" thing is ridiculous

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I can't believe more people aren't outraged by that play. That could turn out to be a huge play in this very meaningful game!

[HaloFan85]

I actually wouldn't be suprised if that bunt was on Conger.  It looked like one of his ocassional bunt attempts for a base hit.

 

As for trading Sosh, swap him for Dave Martinez (straight up) after the final out is made.  Have Sosh's bags already packed and ready so he can just walk over to the Rays clubhouse after the game.

That's not the point. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

That's not the point.

Yes it is. Conger probably did it on his own, but even if Mike S. told him to do it, it's hard to get worked up over it in these ST type games. Mike S isn't going to be fired before the season is over.

[Jay]

Game's over.  Angels won.

[mtangelsfan]

Does anyone really believe that Sosh called that play?

[tdawg87]

I think anytime one of the players does something stupid people look at Sosh. While one could argue that he plays a big role in the fundamental aspect of this team, he doesn't have a controller in the dugout hooked up to every player on the field. Some players make dumb decisions. Doesn't mean Mike is telling them to.

I think this specific play was a misread sign.

[70runner]

No misread, no Scioscia, just Conger with a brain fart.  Having said that it's nice seeing Conger in there, Iannetta is pretty much a walk or a strikeout along with his matador glove on dirt balls.

So who called for a bunt after the game?

it wasn't after the game mark, it was during it (I think).

Smart move I guess, if you did bunt after the game. None of the ground crew probably has the instinct to come in on the ball. But with nobody actually pitching, it would be tough to get one you could bunt.

Unorthodox move. Thats why sosh is the man though.

That's what is commonly referred to as "thinking outside of the stadium."

I said called for ''that'' bunt (minutes after it happened), but nice attempt at trying to be a smartass.

you could even pull it off with two strikes, cause...what ump would notice a foul?

I like it.
