Sox Caps: Scioscia Face
Sox Caps is a semi-regular feature, wherein the brilliant Thomas highlights some of the most interesting parts of the previous night’s game via witty/insightful/gosh-darned-funny screencaps. Comments, jokes or alternative captions are always welcome.
The home plate umpire had some Angels crying & their manager furious because of his enormous strike zone in the 9th.
Thanks to a certain person (BETH), I will forever think of this as the “Scioscia Face”. Thanks to a certain other person (KRIS), I will forever hear Lady Gaga singing “M-m-m-my Mike Scioscia face, m-m-m-my Mike Scioscia face” every time I see it. Which is a lot. Because he makes that face 1000000 times a game.
The strike zone was so big in fact that Fuentes wanted to see if he could hide inside of it after 'ball four' to Green.
I will take a 5-strike walk, and the win. Yes I will. Especially considering Nick Green’s leg was apparently about to fall off his body at any moment.
When it comes to outfield defense, it's great to see Rivera being Manny on Gonzo's game winner.
I know it’s all the rage for Angels fans to blame everything on biased/scared umpires (ooooh! Boston people are so terrifying we scare the umps into calling balls!), but really, Rivera’s horrific timing on when to decide to dog it on a can of corn is what cost them the game.
# I would not want to have been the umpiring crew having to go through Mike Scioscia to get to their locker room. Even with the cops there as protection.
M-m-m-my Mike Scioscia face, m-m-m-my Mike Scioscia face! (see what I mean?)
It really is a kids game played by adults.
Someone else trademarked the Scoscia face? Geez.
It’s actually good more people have taking a liking to the Scoscia face. There have been many good examples of it over the past 5 years.
You have TOTALLY ruined that song. LOL.
I thought that ball 4 *was* low. Scioscia is a whiner.
Fuentes cowering down on the mound in fear of the awesome and mighty Red Sox…
