Second Guessing Scioscia – You can’t have it both ways

Let it linger… or don’t… or do… MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
Let’s condense this all into one, shall we? Scioscia stumbled over the same hurdle three different times this week. All of which included Scioscia’s reluctance or lack thereof to pull his starting pitcher.

The first such instance was in Matt Shoemaker‘s ill-fated start. Through three innings Shoe had been just terrible. He was coming off a third inning in which he gave up a homer on an 0-2 pitch and then allowed a double, a walk and two very loud outs. Things were not working for Shoemaker.
