It's unfathomable.

Yea, I wouldn't try it against Manny Del Carmen. A flyball can be had against him. Even if you can't get the flyball, you still got one more chance to get a single with 2 outs. To be honest, I thought all they had to do was bring in Popabun in the 8th, and it would of been over. Hell, he didn't ever bring him in. As a manager, if you call that suicide squeeze, you better damn sure be confident the particular pitcher is gunna throw the batter something he can get the bat on. Scioscia did his part in that regard. So, I put most of the blame on Aybar for being a woman. He has to foul it off( in the least.) I would of brought in KROD to face Kotsay n' Bay.
