You're right Bulldog, as Charlie Sheen likes to say, "Winning!!!", is what it's all about. Having watched Mike Scioscia play and coach for several years, there's no way he has Ayabar lead off with a bunt to break up the no hitter. Scioscia is a baseball purist, but he and the Angels went into the 8th with an eye for eye attitude after the Guillen incident.
20dad, that's a pretty cool memory!
coach, I agree with the majority of your statement. You and I are on the same page, but if it wasn't for the circumstances in the prior inning with Guillen, I don't bunt to break it up...and as I stated above, I don't think Scioscia does either, JMO.
