I just don't get the greed factor. Royals are up in a game they not figure to win, Baum around the corner, and he has to squeeze another inning out of Guthrie?
 
Probably would have had a much quicker hook without those two runs in the top of the inning.
 
There I am, Yost apologist.

Didn't Herrera look a little tired in game two?

Eventually, the Giants are going toneed to do something against this bullpen if they want to win a championship. If they don't, they are in danger of pressing too much thinking every game is six innings versus nine. Feels like a real important moment in this series.

If you did your homework, Harold, You'd know Bochy hardly ever bunts except with his pitchers.
No wonder SoSH likes him so much. He's smaller than the game.

Well, that wasn't as bad as it could have been, but not good. Anyway, I just found out that both Ishikawa and Guthrie are 4th generation Japanese Americans. I am probably the last to know this.

Just thinking, Morse, when he gets back to the dugout, says to Bochy "hey, I can't kick it around any worse than that gold glover did out there on my hit, so you should start me in left from now on". Lefty going tomorrow, he has to.

Yeah, what was up with that? Looks like he expected the ball to bounce out, but it died in the corner.

You know, I have looked at Guthrie every time I've ever seen him pitch and wondered about his ethnicity.

Yost should use a lifeline to figure out how to double switch. Maybe Farrell is still up.

Problem was, where to double switch? The last out was made by Moose, and you don't want to lose his defense, especially to replace it with Jayson Nix

The only other move he could have made was pinch-hit for herrera and leave the seventh to Finnegan and Frasor, with Davis on call
