Sure it was a bad call, but a high school  catcher still tags the hitter.

No high school, college, minor or major league catcher ever bothered until after that a single fuck up by Eddings. Then after that every coach preached, don't trust the man in blue, tag the batter. 

You can't keep rewriting history and think no one remembers the past.

FTR, I don't give two shits about having Josh Paul as the bench coach.

Haha seriously.  That’s why I love this place.  Only on angelswin could I ever find people raging about a bench coach new hire.

We don’t even know that the Halos would have won game 2, since it was tied up when Eddings screwed up.

Anyway, ChiSox pitching in that ALCS was as good as the O’s pitching was in the 1966 WS against the Dogs.   Unhittable  

Finally, somebody with reason and logic. We got beat by great pitching.

But I'm still pissed when I think about that play.

I knew people were going to talk about game 2 of the 2005 ALCS in this thread! Was angry about that game for a little while but eventually let it go.

They should just continue with the bad-mojo theme and hire Aybar as 3rd base coach (squeeze bunt), Washburn, pitching coach (Ortiz walk-off), and Fuentes as bullpen coach (A-Rod blast).

Houston scored 14 runs in first three games , against the Sox in the World Series.  Good pitching , but not great. The Angels were playing Scioscia baseball. 

By Scioscia baseball you mean what?  I would assume you mean bunting or getting caught stealing, those types of things.  They had two sacrifices in the five games and zero caught stealing.  So once again you are just being a Scioscia hater, oh and wrong.  We got beat by a hot pitching staff. All but two outs recorded by the White Sox in a five game series came from the starters.

I'm looking forward to our 2021 staff

Manager: Jeff Mathis

Pitching coach: Brian Fuentes

Third Base Coach: Erick Aybar

Hitting Coach: Matt Joyce

Aybar will be doing double duty as base running coach.

[Taylor]

I nominate Yunel Escobar for infield coach.

[Second Base]

Mo Vaughn is strength and conditioning, Josh Hamilton is in charge or MLBPA drug testing, and Mark Trumbo is in charge of developing patience and plate discipline.

Mathis probably would make a decent manager.

What does a bench coach actually do that matters?  Is that person like the VP to the POTUS?

This HAS to happen! Can you imagine that little freak waving running a in, or even better, holding them up at the last second? 

Get on it, Eppy. 

Torii would be the obvious choice.

I think its more like a mix of jimmy carters brother and lewinsky. Be a fun personality, and do things for the real manager.

Okay - let's clear this up once and for all:

Scioscia pinch hit for one the Molinas (who know to tag the batter out of instinct and just to make sure there's no doubt)

Paul caught the third strike THEN - rolled the ball to the mound and SPRINTED TO THE DUGOUT. AJ looks over at Paul and thinks it's a dropped third strike...and runs to first.

Eddings gets confused (easily) and gets sucked into the AJ running to 1st.

SO...technically this "should" have happened: Paul needs to tag AJ just to be safe (Bengie - Jose ALWAYS DID)

The fact that Paul was so geeked at the K - he sprinted to the dugout - fooling AJ (and Eddings - but for a different reason) that he thought it was pitch that got away (you see him glance over his shoulder)

Sure...it was "only game 2" BUUUUT - lets remember: Angels Yankees series. Saturday Game 4 rained out - Sunday SHOULD HAVE been a day game - but TV rules - 8:15 pm first pitch in The Bronx - fly home on fumes (both teams) 5:00 pm start time - Halos win - fly to ChiTown (Pale Hose resting) - Paul Byrd pitches a gem in game 1 and game 2 would have been a steal. We get screwed - Pale Hose are jacked and use that mo (and their pitching) to shut down the Halos in Anaheim. 

I think the jet lag caught up with the team - and the emotional BS of Eddings' incompetence added to that. The team was gassed (games Sunday in NY, Mon in ANA, Tues - Weds in Chi -  then weekend back in ANA)

However - if Josh paul tags AJ - just to confirm to Dougie - then the game moves along. Maybe we still lose - but it's not the screw job.

Just like the 1985 series - Cards get screwed by ump in game 6  - then lose game 7, 11-0 . Losing like that kills you. it did the Halos -

Back to the topic at hand....

Yankees managerial candidate: Josh Paul

https://www.sny.tv/yankees/news/yankees-managerial-candidate-josh-paul/260455246

 

Paul, 42, played 321 games in the big leagues (566 in the minors), retiring in 2008. Paul managed the Yankees' rookie short-season affiliate in Staten Island (2009-10) with the club winning the league title in 2009. Paul then shifted to work as a scout for the organization and has most recently worked as the Yankees catching coordinator since 2015.

Paul created "The Wolfpack" with the purpose to bond the young catchers in the system and teach them that hard work and pride in their craft would benefit their careers. Paul is credited with aiding the defensive development of Gary Sanchez, which obviously could be a benefit to the Yankees' All-Star catcher's future improvement.

Yes, stupid Scioscia baseball game 2 .Sox win 2-1ALCS 2005. oTop 5th. R Quinlan homered  to left. Erstad singled. Molina bunted fielders choice. Manufactured out. No runs. Top of 8th, Molina singled , Kennedy sacrificed, another manufactured out .No runs. Yes stupid Scioscia  baseball. Giving away outs.

. 

...and the all-time dumb move (that mercifully did not backfire), bunting with ONE OUT and runners on first and second in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the 2002 World Series. No runs, but Percy held the Giants in the 9th and we won.

 

[Angelsfirst]

Either way, getting shutdown after game 2 of the ALCS is still a lot better than losing game 7 of the World Series at home. Gotta admit, still feeling good about that one. 

[bloodbrother]

CAn't wait for the Angels to hire Pierzynski to the staff

[Docwaukee]

I want Josh Paul to succeed MS as manager just for the ANAHEIMBOB meltdown lolz.
