Soscia is an excellent manager who tends to press a bit much at times but certainly is smart and creative. The squeeze was actually a great call and typical of how the Angels have run all season. If you watch the replay the execution of the bunt was atrocious. The teaching is to get your bat parallel to the ground and actually "catch" the ball with it. The motion he used trying to execute that play was a "jab" and the bat was properly positioned. The Sox might have beaten the best team in the American League this year.

with 2 outs in the 9th, you bring in your left hand specialist. Except they dont have one. The guy simply waited on the curve and slapped it. Agreed on the bunt. How can you not make contact... The Angels are good but realistically simply didnt score enough. Kendrick was terrible, they didnt get much out of RF, Anderson wasnt great. Tex and Vlad never got a whole lot to hit. Though Tex will certainly get his $$ after this series. if you ahdn't watched him much before, he was awesome in the field and at bat.
