The flying Molinas

Last night in Anaheim, Angels catcher Jose Molina stole second off of his brother Bengie in the sixth inning. It was his seventh career stolen base.

In the seventh inning, Bengie returned the favor, stealing second without a throw. The Angels weren't holding on Bengie because they were up by five and it was Bengie Molina at first. It was the third career stolen base for Bengie.

Boxscore

Sadly, the official scorer changed Bengie Molina's steal to a fielder's choice.

It's a conspiracy, I tells ya!

Shouldn't the second be defensive indifference then? Seriously, there are catchers in the major leagues who probably could have beaten Bengie to second base on foot.

B. Molina got a stolen base because although the Angels weren't holding him on, they did care if he stole. They weren't indifferent. They were just dumbfounded.
