World Series Game 4 Royals @ Giants

[SemperFidelisSox]

Rule #326: You can only use your best relievers with a lead in the 7-8-9 innings.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Escobar made the right play. However, I love the eventual outcome.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Sandoval will be fun to root for.

 
 

 
I'd like to buy you a beer

 
I am telling you - the main board will implode at some of his ABs.  When he loses his eye-hand coordination and/or gains another 30 lbs after getting his contract the hand-wringing around this place will be the worst since the Crawford contract.  

 

[Sprowl]

Battle of the bloop hits continues

Death by dribbler.

Simmonds?

Great arm, but I'm not wowed by his footwork, no matter what UZR says about his range. Crawford has elegant footwork.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If Pence had beaten the throw again, all we would have heard was that he should have thrown home to prevent the run scoring.

He wouldn't have beaten the throw. I don't think it would have been all that close, really. At least a full step.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How does Yost let the Giants rally against his pen without using any of his best relievers?  Duffy has been hung out to dry here.

Finnegan?

 

[soxhop411]

 
So this isn't the same as the college world series...

He has been pitching since FEB college season. He could be burnt

 

[DanoooME]

The Gods of BABIP shined brightly on the Giants that inning.

 

[soxhop411]

Shields better pitch his ass off tomorrow

 

[Ed Hillel]

I mean, if we give him 7 years and like 140 million, yeah. I'm not sure why concern of his hand-eye coordination should be different than with any other player.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Buck was pretty quick to add Finnegan to the three amigos and try to make it a foursome. Not so fast. 

 

[Frank Fenway]

holy fuck 

 

[glasspusher]

Lot to expect from a 21 year old rookie reliever...

 
Kinda like Wacha in the 9th inning of NLCS game 5?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Bochy made the call.

Yeah but I'm not one of those people. Abs don't be shit but hos and tricks. 

 

[Doooweeeey!]

Gee, I think I could root for Panda...

 

[Al Zarilla]

Panda like on some bamboo there. 

 

[Frank Fenway]

Hosmer oh boy, what a shit AB so far

 

[glasspusher]

Let the dink hits begin for KC!

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol

 

[rembrat]

Here comes the 3 spot.

 

[rembrat]

Let the dink hits begin for KC!

U mad bro?

 

[Sprowl]

Affeldt's crucifix brought him low on that play.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Throw at the runner always there. Harold is right.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Giants are saying how do you like our 7 8 9 inning guys now.
 
Just like Candlestick there. Why do they build their stadia with the ground below sea level?

 

[glasspusher]

U mad bro?

 
Avoiding stress isn't the secret...

 

[soxhop411]

So how many eels does shields give up tomorrow?

 

[Sprowl]

Weak moussaka

 

[Ed Hillel]

Uhhhhh....

 

[Doooweeeey!]

Plenty of ball left on the night…really good game and series so far.
 
Pitchy GBA singer...

 

[Sprowl]

Avoiding stress isn't the secret...

Avoiding GBA is the secret.

 

[Frank Fenway]

oh boy

 

[Ed Hillel]

Definitely a whole note flat.

 

[soxhop411]

T-Mobile?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Crowd assisted GBA.

 

[Doooweeeey!]

Wow. Leaving Finegan in…. This is the Ned Yost we know.  

 

[soxhop411]

Yostttttt

 

[Max Power]

The field at Fenway is a few feet below street level. I assume it's so you don't have to build the upper deck as high above the street.

 

[Doooweeeey!]

Baltimore chop...
Seriously, why the white flag duty for Finnegan?

 

[Max Power]

Wow. Leaving Finegan in…. This is the Ned Yost we know.  

 
 You don't want to get away from the hot hand. 

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The new commissioner has announced that starting in 2015, retired coast Guard reservists will sing "And The Caissons Go Rolling Along" in the middle of the fifth inning in all major league parks. It will be optional in Toronto, and in Tampa in light of their impending move to Moose Jaw.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Welcome to those posters who haven't seen much SF Giants baseball - where a higher than average BABIP is a valued skill set!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh Ned.

 

[glasspusher]

Baltimore chop...
Seriously, why the white flag duty for Finnegan?

 
Giving his top 3 some rest, only reason I can see

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ball 5.

 

[Frank Fenway]

pull the fucking pitcher

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

"See ya, college"

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hm, didn't know about Fenway. Candlestick was notorious for always being wet and slippery, even when it hadn't rained in a while. Looked that way when Affeldt slipped, although it has rained. 

 

[soxhop411]

Sooooo is everyone ready for a pitch clock next year?
