In the dirt or not?

He didnt get a "no contact" mechanic as Harold Reynolds says, he didnt give a "delayed dead ball" mechanic as one genius poster suggested. Come on folks.

Are you SERIOUSLY going to sit there and say "a more experienced catcher would have tagged him"? That is a joke, right? Not sure, but I think Josh Paul might be slightly better than league ball catchers that we're used to, no? He is a major league catcher for petesake.[B]

Perhaps a better choice of words would be "a smarter catcher would have tagged him". I'll bet Molina would have tagged him! Just because he's a major league catcher, doesn't mean he always uses his head.

Angels fans should stop blaming the umpire, since they had many chances to win on their own. Nobody forced Escobar to serve up that 0-2 pitch to Crede!
