The elongated meeting at home plate during lineup exchanges tonight was Angels' manager Mike Scoscia bitching about the A's pitchers being on one side of the pitching rubber or the other. The Rule Book states the pitcher has to be in full contact with the pitching rubber. But that can mean many things. The rule has never been enforced as middle of the rubber. If so, why have the rubber that long? The suggestion to bitch came down from Angel's GM Bill Stoneman.
