Some of you guys are terrible. It wasn't "complete retardation" to call a squeeze there. It was a gamble, one of several a manager makes all game long, be it hit and run or stealing second or staying with a starter. If Aybar, OUR LEADOFF HITTER, gets a simple bunt down it works. Bunting is something a guy like Aybar, getting paid millions, should be able to do in his sleep.
Was Scioscia's handling of Vargas and Richards complete retardation, as well?
