What's the joke with Uggla?
Dan Uggla was released by the braves mid season after being one of the worst players in MLB the last 3 or so years. The giants picked him up and had him on their roster for a day or two. If the giants win, he gets a WS ring.
 
Bumgarner and the Giants both value the longevity of his career, that may be why he isn't warming up.

Moustakas walk-off HR in bottom 11th.

What would pitching for part of the game really do to his longevity and career? Hes the best asset the Giants got. If they get a decent lead they should put him in for atleast 2 innings.
 
Why are the Giants not putting in that bumgardner guy? That guy is insane. Would they risk not winning a world series to pr vent injury? I don't understand anything about baseball, as I'm sure that's fairly clear..

He is on only 2 days rest, not sure how effective he can really be.

Throwing a baseball 100-120 times at 78-98 mph each time puts a ton of strain on your arm.

well he threw 9 innings on sunday, its not unheard of for a pitcher to pitch on three days rest but after throwing 9 innings i doubt the dude could have gone very long, they might bring him out for some relief work

It's a mentality thing too. The guy hasn't pitched from the pen since like 2010. I don't think he'll be effective if they choose to bring him out.
 
It's never a good idea to slide into first....Especially with replay. It worked when you could confuse the ump, but it doesn't work with replay.

absolutely

we just witnessed a great double play and a future sports trivia question, who was the first manager to successfully challenge a play in the world series?
