Mike Scioscia is an utter moron

[GPK]

For a team that recorded 100 wins during the regular season, their run differential (+68) wasn't as high as you would think it would be. Then again, the Cubs (+184) led the league in that category...and they are at Scavs celebrating another first round sweep.

Ever heard of the term "new life"? It's what the Red Sox got. It's intangible, but it helped. If you honestly think the Red Sox suddenly being able to hit Shields in the ninth after being totally inept in the eighth had nothing to do with that horrendous call by Scioscia, I can't even talk to you. Not everything that affects games is tangible.

What color is the sky? I say blue, but I anticipate a fervent debate.

I love scuds despite his sometimes unusual takes but at least I know he watches baseball. You seem to come from the Brent Musberger school of thought where intangibles are everything and coaches are like puppet masters.

You got me, Chuck. I've only been watching and playing the game since I was four years old, so I couldn't possibly know the things you do from yakking on NerdyTrail and playing fantasy baseball all year long.

That's what this is about, isn't it? You're convinced that I don't know anything about baseball, so any point I make, you'll provide the counterpoint.

That's cool, but I still say that if Scioscia doesn't make that call, the Angels would've scored at least one point in that quarter.

You say things like the reason that the sox got hits against Shields was because the had "new life" and you want baseball cred? Maybe you could have said that they had two lefties against shields that inning, one who would have had the game winning hit if it were not for a great play by Teixiera. You want to be praised for your knowledge and you gave me momemtum and new life. Sounds like a religious experience. You refuse to discuss what happened and why it may have occured other than Mike Scioscia is a moron. You may be correct in that the call was a risky one. But to ignore the other factors makes me believe you dont really get it despite your lengthy experience. You think I simply disagree when I pointed out that the play was only a failure because of failed execution. If Eli Manning fumbles a snap on the 3 yard line is it a bad play coughlin called? Is it the coaches fault? Aybar fumbled. Not Scioscia.

LOL, WTF? No I don't. I want you to go back to being the cool guy I knew, rather than the holier than thou cantankerous dick you've become on this board.

Yeah and he called bad pitches in the bottom of the 9th too.
