WS Game 5

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

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.  

That is likely to remain unmatched ever.  What a phenomenal performance. Can you imagine in this day and age if he did that?

Well, he's 79; so I'm guessing it would be amazing

 

[mauidano]

Nail in the coffin!

 

[glasspusher]

this game is over. I mean, really over

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Ballgame.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

And down go the Royals.  What a fucking huge AB there for Perez.  The guy is a AAAA player too.

 

[canderson]

Those were unneeded runs. Should've saved them for Tuesday.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wow, Perez couldn't get a hit off me most of the year.

 

[cannonball 1729]

Wade Davis finally looks vincible.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Escobar's had a swell night

 

[mauidano]

Bumgarner should/could go deep here.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ok so Yost left Herrera in too long.  What is the excuse for Davis?  They've seen him now.  Data shows that pitchers get more hittable as hitters get more looks at them.  That is what happened here.

Unless you're that Baumgarner guy

[mauidano]

Bumgarner was right, that wasn't strike three.  He let Hunter know.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Still thinking this goes 7

 

[trekfan55]

Up 5 (at least) why let Bumgarner pitch the 9th? Doesn't it make sense to replace him so he could come in in a possible Game 7?

What they look for is a D added to his name, not an A.

Sometimes shitty hitters make contact?

You think the 10 or so pitches he throws in the 9th is going to make that much of a difference?

he got more than a few gift calls, not that he needed them.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Well there's that too.  But the limited looks explain why Davis has been so amazing this season after being fairly pedestrian during the earlier (starting) part of his career.

 

[rembrat]

I'd like to see the Royals make some noise here. That Giant dugout is too happy for a series that isn't close to being over.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bum wants his CGSHO. Beckett in '03 the last and the Unit in '01 the last by a lefty. Go for it big guy.

 

[glasspusher]

This is what Verlander was supposed to do in the post season, right? The Tigers have only beaten the As and MFYs in the playoffs in the last few years.

 

[glasspusher]

Anyone in the stands who isn't up and cheering is in a coma.

 

[E5 Yaz]

So, the Royals won the one game they needed to win in SF to put the Series back on course ... and now play two at home w/o a chance of seeing Bumgarner again in a significant role

Bum's got a farm and a regular wife. Verlander's got, you know.

Leave Brian Stow alone

 

[glasspusher]

Outstanding.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Statistically, has to be one of the better WS games ever thrown. I'm too lazy to look up.

 

[GBrushTWood]

Royals are done. Even if they win Game 6, Bumgarner will be lurking in the pen for Game 7. KC already looks totally defeated because they can't hit this guy.

 

[mauidano]

:fap:

 

[Frank Fenway]

Dude is a fucking god

Good point. Not many guys have girlfriends who do photo shoots in the Vomit Comet

Yes.  I also think we'll see a seventh game unless Peavy somehow Leskanics it through Tuesday's start.   
 
Bumgarner is a fucking beastmaster though.  Nobody can deny it.

With two days rest? For a guy who has NEVER even started a game on three days rest? Exactly how sharp do you expect him to be under those circumstances

Such a great verb

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

He is like one and a half Rosethals high!

 

[Frank Fenway]

I can't believe he jumped out of a balloon at the edge of space before the game 

 

[E5 Yaz]

How many Rosenthals in a Smoot?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I can't believe he jumped out of a balloon at the edge of space before the game 

 
And didn't even use a special suit or a parachute.

 

[Frank Fenway]

lol somebody already edited his wiki!

 

[Frank Fenway]

 His father, Kevin, built the loghouse the younger Bumgarner grew up in  

 
come on

He doesn't need to start. He just needs to come in as soon as Hudson gets into trouble. Basically Pedro vs. Cleveland in 1999. I expect similar results given how bad KC has looked against him. They look completely bewildered out there..

 

[glasspusher]

Weather looks good for KC all week. If there was a rain out, no way they win game 7

Yeah, but Pedro had about a week of rest after torquing his back after 4 innings in game 1. 

 

[Frank Fenway]

I don't think he's ever pitched a single relief inning in his life

 

[nattysez]

Bumgarner is 25 years old. What a stud.

I can't see Peavy pulling a great outing out of his hat in Game 6, but we did just see Juan Perez nearly hit a hr v Wade Davis, so....

Edit: BTW, I cannot even imagine how much irrelevant 2002 talk we are going to hear over the next 2 days.
