I thought he said that was part of his strike-calling mechanic. Although, I must admit I'm still confused about it. Baseball tonight showed him making the same motion on a number of different occasions (I hate this word, it never looks like it's spelled right to me; it should be "ocassion" or "occassion" -- crap, those look wrong too) and implied that he hadn't formally signalled him out yet.
Whatever. I thought he should be out because he left the batters box in the opposite direction. How far do they get to go towards their dugout before they can no longer change their minds and run to first?
Either way, I'm glad Anaheim got screwed. I hate Scioscia. And all that extra bullshit their pitchers do after they strike someone out pisses me off too.*
