The NE Pats were handed the conference championship a few years ago because a Brady fumble

The Pats got a break but were handed NOTHING. It still took a Vinatieri field goal of 40+ yards in a snow storm to tie the game and it required the Raiders to showcase their non defense in OT to allow Vinatieri the game winning field goal.

Same here, sure AJ and the Sox got a break with the call but it still took Escobar to serve up the the big hit to Crede win the game for the Sox.

Sports are all full of woulda, shoulda, could haves and the great teams battle through the bad bounces and questionable calls to still win.

Regardless of the umps call, the Angels had more than their fair share of opportunities to win the game.

But the Pats should never have gotten the ball back in the first place.

And don't forget that Ozuma stole second before Crede's hit. They could have kept him on the bag or thrown him out and still be out of the inning.
