That does make sense and seems to be what MLB is saying publicly at least.

Was watching the play over again on DVR and then listening to Showalter explain the play - basically he is right, they didn't execute.

And then trying a squeeze with a LHB is never a good idea.;)

Thanks

Squiggy Trivia:
 
David Lander, the guy who played Squiggy (and the scribe in "League"), is an extreme baseball fan, and is actually a former Angels scout and a current Seattle Mariners scout. He lives near where I umpire most of my games, and he actually scouts some of the games.
