WS Game 5

Is that a spaceship? Must have been hell to make

McCovey Cove attention whore. I've seen that one before. Some sheet metal, some flashing lights...

I have to give him props though. If I tried to make something like that I would sink with it

Exactly, a spaceship.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Fortunately this ump is not chewing any tobacco.

 

[mauidano]

That foul ball skipped Wendlestat's heart beat.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This is sad

 

[Luis Taint]

I thought that caught the ump in the groin.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Knocked the Wendelstedt out of hiim

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yost double-switches in the seventh, inserting Jayson Nix ... who has not had a hit in a Royals uniform.
 
Why does that matter? Because, in the 8th, Dyson will lead off (probably a pinch-hitter), followed by Nix in the pitcher's spot. The problem is that Nix has to bat, because they have no more infielders
 
If Herrera were in that spot, you'd just pinch hit for the pitcher. So instead of Butler and Willingham hitting in the 8th, it will be one of them and Nix
 
Add to that, what are the chances of Infante's spot coming around again anyway?

It's a cry for help, really.

Bravo, sir. Morty would be proud.

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

That was not a strike, but that's what happens when you're dominating.

 

[glasspusher]

C ya

 

[soxhop411]

Not a strike ump

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Not a strike ump

 
Two non-strikes called in that AB. Chrissakes, he doesn't need the help, Hunter.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Country Breakfast, Bendy Dinner

 

[glasspusher]

Sometimes he gets that outside strike, sometimes not. Robots.

 

[soxhop411]

Bad swing

 

[mauidano]

We really are watching greatness on the mound this Post Season.

 

[soxhop411]

So. Do the royals win tue ? Or is this series ova?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

I'd fine Nix for swinging at 3-1

 

[Al Zarilla]

Crowd, quiet earlier, is getting into it more. Beer in most parks, wine at AT&T?

 

[BoSoxFink]

These guys forget Lester last year?

 

[E5 Yaz]

So. Do the royals win tomorrow? Or is this series ova?

 
There's no way the Royals win tomorrow

 

[glasspusher]

Except for the slider, he doesn't have an unhittable pitch. Mixing it up, hitting his spots. Well done, Mr. Bumgarner.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Total and utter domination.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

8 strong! Just over 100...

 

[glasspusher]

 
There's no way the Royals win tomorrow

 
Agreed. 

 

[canderson]

So who all has had a better postseason run than him?

This is Beckett 2007 but seemingly more dominant.

Well, they may all be in a fantasy league together and have DeMarco Murray.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Big decision for Bochy. Gordon, Cain, Hosmer. Start the inning with Bum, medium leash. Or, go to Casilla and save some Bum bullets for a 7th game.

Beckett faced stellar offenses that year.

I'd stick with him. You just don't want to give the Royals any reason to hope ... and taking him out would, momentarily, make them think it was possible

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Harold Reynolds apparently is amazed when a pitcher grooves even a fast pitch and an MLB hitter turns on it.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You have a day off tomorrow. Why isn't Davis pitching here?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

I'm of this mindset.

I don't think the Giants are going to win tomorrow personally.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

But if they score here...

Can you believe it?

Might get moot.

That would be so much funnier if we hadn't already beat it to death

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Here is the key to the Royals bullpen - they are great if hitters don't get a good look at them (e.g. in a short series) but as we are seeing, Herrera is hittable once batters have seen him a few times.

Different because he only had one series to play, but I'm not sure anything can top Bob Gibson in the '67 Series:  3 games, 3 complete games, 3 wins (Games 4 & 7 on 3-days rest).  27 IP, 3 ER, 26/5 K/BB ratio.  

 

[mauidano]

Agreed. 

No way they lose either.

You clowns should really read the following posts before doing things such as this

Or left if he is left in there to long but whatever.

Guys what time is the game tomorrow

I gave mine a Giants twist.
