Where Sciocia really screwed up

By the title of this thread, I thought you were going to talk about his commitment to the nuclear plant instead of concentrating on softball.

Why would he use his back up catcher to start the game, and have his starter DHing instead?  He has got to be smart enough to realize if you need the better Molina in the game, you would lose the use of the DH for the rest of the game if you move him in at Catcher.  Instead they PR for Molina late in the game, and instead Josh Paul has to go in at Catcher, meaning the 2nd base was an easy steal for Molina. 

 

Getting past the Strike 3/Out controversy, would they have sent Ozuna for 2nd with a Molina behind the plate?  Could Ozuna have scored from first on Crede's ball to the wall?  That one little move trying to give the better Molina a day off behind the plate, was a big factor in the 9th inning to say the least.

 

Honestly, I was asking myself why they have 3 catchers on the playoff roster????

If you ever want to use a catcher as a DH, it's pretty much a must to have 3 catchers.

As far as Escobar v Crede, Joe almost took him yard in his previoius AB so they should've been more careful with Joe. Actually with a base open they should've considered pitching around him...then again Uribe hit a rope also...they were the only 2 Sox to get good wood on the ball v Escobar so anyway you look at it he was screwed. lol

Well yeah, it's just really odd since most teams would never carry 3 backstops...............
