  1. This would be a fine time to have your first 1-2-3 inning, Jake.
  2. We're hitting him. I'm glad we get another inning of him. They have nothing outside of the home run. I mean they're not doing poorly by any stretch, I love the approach against him, but the chance of another run against him is slim. The Giants bullpen is garbage. Huh? They've got seven hits. That's hardly nothing.
  3. Stupid Panik. Couldn't let Jake have his 1-2-3 inning.
  4. Another missed spot from Bumgarner. No way he wanted that pitch middle-middle to KB.
  5. But it was the 3rd time he'd thrown it in that PA 93 up 93 down 88 down Seems like three different pitches/locations to me.
  6. They called Pedroia's to end the game the other night.
  7. Even if he rolls through the next 3 innings at 12 pitches per inning (which there's no indication he will), he's at 104 and will probably be done after 6.
  8. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/178705690/madison-bumgarner-wil-myers-have-altercation/ Bum doesn't discriminate. Could be a white player also.
  9. That's pretty much what I'm rooting for. I'd probably rather play the Nats but I'll be happy as long as it goes 5. That would knock out Kershaw/Scherzer until Game 3.
  10. Yep. Even when he was striking out 40% of the time (or whatever it was) in 2014, it was obvious that he was good enough defensively that if he could just be passable offensively, he'd generate enough value with the power and defense to be playable. He didn't hit great against RH (.689 OPS) but his K-rate was only 26.4% but it certainly wasn't disastrous. With how terrible he was in 2014, the progress he's made has been pretty impressive.
  11. Came across this from after Game 1 http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/08/giants-notes-bochy-still-perturbed-by-controversial-call-in-ninth-inning-of-the-cubs-game-1-victory/ First of all .. really Bruce? You want check swings to be reviewed? GTFO. And go ahead and ignore the extra 4 inches Cueto got on the outside corner for a chunk of the game, particularly on curveballs inside to righties/outside to lefties that were never strikes.
  12. Fangraphs hasn't updated yet but 538 has the Cubs at 92% to make the NLCS, 56% to make the World Series and 34% to win it.
