Could you imagine this [expletive] board if Ned Yost was the Cubs manager?

 

I've said it before, he does a lot of things really well, but sometimes he just does the extremely obvious wrong thing.

Herrera has looked pretty shaky the last two games particularly with his control, but Davis and Holland have been very solid.

Ive seen him do nothing right this whole post season. The giants just put game 4 away because yost left finnegan in to start the 7th, resulting in 2 walks to start the inning. This guy is worse than Dusty Baker.

I didn't like him having Vargas start the fifth, give up a double to Panik and then yanking Vargas. And him sticking with Finnegan in the sixth when he was struggling. I know Herrera has been shaky and threw a ton of pitches the last two games but why not Davis this time? It's 4-4 in the sixth inning and the heart of the lineup is up. Go with your big guns. You've still got Herrera and Holland for later if you need them but as it turned out, he never got to use them.

Cometrly disagree. He has done plenty right this postseason including starting Dyson the last 2 games over Aoki. Now, I have been pretty angry these last two games with his hook and letting pitchers hit. Also, I was screaming for Duffy or Herrera to start the 5th (if it were me Duffy would have pitched the 4th with Finnegan to relieve him if he got in trouble). When he did not do that Herrera should have been up ready to go in the 6th. I felt like tonight was the night I would have gone 1 inning Herrera, 2 for Davis, 2 for Holland and then I think the way the first 4 innings played out played right into that strategy. Don't get me wrong, the last two games have been awful by him, but the rest of the postseason he's been just fine.

 

Actually if it were me I would have probably brought in Davis when there was trouble in the 5th and ridden his arm until he could go no longer. You're losing Game 5 and won't need him until Tuesday.

 

Dusty Baker comparison? No way.

One more thing that we don't know and he never gets credit for, but I have to think he has something to do with, is the Royals being extremely healthy the last two seasons and reeling off the best record in baseball in the second half both seasons. Yes, they are arbitrary starting points, but they begin in June and July.

Why the [expletive] did Yost put Nix in on a double switch? Just have Herrera pitch one inning and let a respectable hitter like Butler PH for the pitcher.

Rapper E-40 was front row behind homeplate last night. He's from Oakland, but apparantly is a SF Giants fan, but he got front row tickets in KC. That may be the most gangsta moment in rap history.

Was he the really large African American behind home plate with the Giants jacket on? If anything it prevented that obnoxious fan in the orange Marlins top from sitting there and he had to stand in the aisle all game. The guy is a lawyer from Fort Lauderdale who obviously has way too much money and time on his hands.

Haha, at first I thought you meant E-40.

I want it to end on a walk-off with the Giants doing some sort of clownshoes failure on defense, just to spite this Giants fan I know who has terrible opinions about why the A's lose and the Giants win in the postseason.
