Even Year Magick vs. They're Due!

Don't understand why they pinch hit for lackey after just 74 pitches with 2 down and nobody on. Grimm has like 68 G, 52 IP, he's not gonna get you through more than 2 even if he's on (and he wasn't).
Oh geez, Pence is having (very) short term memory loss. He stepped on second base as sure as a Brogan on a cockroach and then forgot that he did.
Its uncanny. Every year they are in the playoffs, they get some guy who come sout of nowhere and just slays everyone in his path. Unfuckingreal...
He hesitated going around second on the shot to right, then he thought he missed the bag, so he went back to tag it and then only got to third on a double.
Pence thought he missed the bag about a third of the way between second and third and went back to it. He wound up on third when he should have scored easily.
Heard one on the radio today: He's the guy you expect to find behind those paintings where the eyes follow you across the room
The very same front office that Moneyball took a swipe at when Lewis portrayed Beane as picking Sabean off on a trade. Since Moneyball, the good face Giants front office has three world championships, playing in front of sold out crowds in one of the best ballparks in the MLB while the A's have simply been happy to make it into the playoffs while playing in a multi-use concrete piece of crap in front of small crowds.
They'll be tight as a drum if they have to play a Game 5. Of course, He Who Invented Baseball will find an incredible way to keep them loose.
But it has nice grass, except for those unsightly chalklines every 5 yards when football season starts.
A great front office, Righetti and Bochy adds up to 3 WS titles. And yes, it's a great ballpark, a jewel really; that shithole in Oakland, not so much.
I don't understand why teams don't bunt and run on him. It makes no sense to me. Shit, just take off to second once he gets into his set.
Absolutely. Also, when players are tight and they stop doing all the little things you gotta look towards the manager.
I would not expect such an error from a team being guided by a Historical Mind.
is there some "unwritten rule" BS as to why teams won't bunt like that? maybe we should ask the genius Joe Maddon
Can't be. I seriously don't get it--the dude cannot throw the ball overhand to a base. Bunt, run, bunt, run.
While it was too harsh, that FO also went on to give Barry Zito a small fortune following a 3-year trend of crashing peripherals.
Sad watching this as a TB fan. Reminds me of Moore's performance against Texas in the 2011 ALDS. Shame injuries and inconsistency prevented him from becoming who we thought he'd be. At one point, he was a top 3 trade value guy right alongside Harper and Trout.
