Why would you walk anyone in that situation? Fucking take it to each and every batter!!! God damn you Yost

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

These games have been so amazing. One of the best WS I've watched in a while. I'm still not counting out KC. SF bullpen is still suspect as fuck.

Definitely the best WS I've seen in a while. I was getting pretty sick of blowouts in every fucking WS seemingly lately.

Also much more exciting than the 2010/12 Giants WS. Not as exciting as the 2002 WS though (yet).

 

[Raziel]

Royals pen really choked one away.

 

[Askani]

I'm not sure there was a correct call there. Sometimes a team gets hot on the bats and you can't stop the bleeding.

they walk him to get the double play ball

and then proceed to not go for the double play on a hard hit ball right to the shortstop

 

[Xeteh]

On the Pence AB why didn't Escobar go for the double play? It seemed like it was hit hard and Pence is not Cain.

Pence has unexpected wheels and he fielded the ball across his body which meant his throw would've been slow. So unless he gets the double play he's insuring the Giants get a run and continue the inning.

 

[Afrikan]

Gotta be regretting going for the force out at home now.

Where did you want him to go with the ball?

Pence would have beat out the throw...they went for a double play to second.

They gave themselves another chance for a force out at home with that decision. Run would've scored as well.

 

[kaiju]

Get it done Jerm!

 

[Branduil]

KC just wants to win the series at home

They're not winning the next game and they're not winning 2 straight after that. This was their chance and they blew it.

 

[devilhawk]

They're not winning the next game and they're not winning 2 straight after that. This was their chance and they blew it.

Yeah, they have never won 2 straight before. Especially not in the World series. Especially not with the same starters.

 

[JDHarbs]

They're not winning the next game and they're not winning 2 straight after that. This was their chance and they blew it.

We've already won 2 straight and with the same matchups that games 6 & 7 will be. The Giants pen could screw up after Bumgarner's start tomorrow as well.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

They're not winning the next game and they're not winning 2 straight after that. This was their chance and they blew it.

Yup. Yost cost the Royals, while Bruce Bochy will go down as a first ballot Hall of Famer and as one of the best managers of all-time.

 

[Kadin]

Sandoval is just so fucking money!

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

We've already won 2 straight and with the same matchups that games 6 & 7 will be.

Nah son, Bumgarner would pitch Game 7 for sure and that would be that for the Royals.

 

[DietRob]

Pence would have beat out the throw...they went for a double play to second.

Yep, it was a text book baseball decision. Especially with the speed of Pence.

 

[Branduil]

We've already won 2 straight and with the same matchups that games 6 & 7 will be. The Giants pen could screw up after Bumgarner's start tomorrow as well.

They could, but they won't because they're the Giants and their pact with the devil is unbeatable.

My dad is a lifelong Giants fan... he talks so much shit about Bochy it blows my mind. Everything is his fault as far as he's concerned, it drives me insane.

 

[NomarTyme]

Should have let buster handle that shit.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Cmon moose

 

[kaiju]

Affeldt holding it down (forgive the slip).

 

[Raziel]

Nah son, Bumgarner would pitch Game 7 for sure and that would be that for the Royals.

Bumgarner won't start on 4 days rest but will on 3 days rest?

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

My dad is a lifelong Giants fan... he talks so much shit about Bochy it blows my mind. Everything is his fault as far as he's concerned, it drives me insane.

I thought hiring Bochy as the manager was a really stupid decision on the Giants part. He was the definition of mediocre with the Padres.

I love how wrong I was. He is probably one of the most brilliant postseason managers I've ever seen. He is the major reason why the Giants have won two championships with two mediocre as shit teams, and might win a third one with a team worse than those two.

 

[devilhawk]

Nah son, Bumgarner would pitch Game 7 for sure and that would be that for the Royals.

Just stop posting. He isn't throwing on 2 days rest. Son.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Just stop posting. He isn't throwing on 2 days rest. Son.

Yes. Not on two days rest.

Good thing it'll be three days rest.

Stop posting if you don't even know the WS schedule. ^_^

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Bumgarner won't start on 4 days rest but will on 3 days rest?

Probably. There is no game 8. If hes bad then you pull him and move on to another pitcher.

 

[neonglow]

Why is Finnegan pitching again?

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Why is Finnegan pitching again?

Dat Yost brilliance.

 

[JDHarbs]

Why is Finnegan pitching again?

Saving the 3 headed monster for tomorrow.

 

[Dominican Power]

Wtf?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Yes. Not on two days rest.

Good thing it'll be three days rest.

Stop posting if you don't even know the WS schedule. ^_^

26th to 29th is two days rest (27th and 28th)

I'm going by the opening post's schedule

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Saving the 3 headed monster for tomorrow.

Who they won't even use because the game will be out of reach by the time they take out Shields in the 3rd.

 

[Gouty]

Cant we cut back on a couple peanut vendors and get someone to pitch in the 6th?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Oy

 

[devilhawk]

Yes. Not on two days rest.

Good thing it'll be three days rest.

Stop posting if you don't even know the WS schedule. ^_^

Haha. How many non pitching days are between Sunday and Wednesday. The hint I'll give you is that it sure as hell isn't three.

 

[Afrikan]

He didn't even swing once on 6 pitches.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Okay, Nix, here's your chance to be a hero.

 

[v1lla21]

He didn't even swing once on 6 pitches.

He was tryna get that HR pitch. Lol.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Saving the 3 headed monster for tomorrow.

Probably a good idea and a blessing in disguise that the game isn't close. Our bullpen was taxed enough in our game 5 that Matheny used a guy who hadn't pitched in 3 weeks (and promptly lost the game).

 

[zroid]

Royals are legit shook.

 

[BlindRage]

Lmfao it's been real royals..

✌️

 

[Chuck]

why can't i hold all these fuck ups...

better luck tomorrow

 

[lazybones18]

yep, time to watch Attack on Titan

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Tim Collins pitching in the World Series. Yep. Well, let's just regroup and focus on tomorrow. Bumgarner isn't invincible and Shields s a much better pitcher than what we saw in game one.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Yep, these are the even year Giants.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

They have Royally checked out of this game.

 

[bananafactory]

Royals right now

 

[DietRob]

I think it's incredibly funny how all of these 'lifelongs' have proclaimed this series over at the first opportunity of either team taking a seemingly insurmountable lead. LMAO..

Or maybe it's me not getting the joke.

 

[Afrikan]

GREAT JOB KID!

 

[Delta Assault]

Ahahaaahahahahahahaha

 

[Chuck]

Joe Buck.

cannot count.
