It probably won't matter, but this is a very meatball-y managed game by Bochy.
-
48 hours off and a return to Wrigley is going to kill off whatever emotional/mental/momentum-al crap is going on here, if even of that even means anything. We've got Jon at home in a do or die game against Ali rip full of generally shitty lefty hitters. Yeah, the sweep would have been nice, but being favored to get to the NLCS is pretty damn nice.

Bumgarner on 2 days rest? In a situation where we've chased cueto and they feel like they have to resort to that option (and ruin their NLCS rotation)? Um, yes please. It would be his side day so I think he could throw an inning or two and be good for game 2 As opposed to being on full rest for game 1 with the option to go on short rest for 4 and 7. If we see bumgarner on Thursday (if it gets there) things are going well for us

Holy horsefeathers I know you have like 40x the number of posts I do, but...you're better than this.

Game 1 was a push but losing in 13 innings was a decisive victory, got it. And it's the top of the [expletive] 6th inning, Jesus. Hey, I'm not saying they have been THAT much better, but I bet all the important numbers are in their favor. What 'numbers'? The one that shows who has won more games this series? You're the one that says you feel lucky to get to game 5.

This makes no sense. Do you think they deserve extra wins for games 3 or 4? Was Jon Lester pitching like Jon Lester luck of some sort? Was us beating up terrible Jeff samardzjia something that wasn't supposed to happen? Seriously, stop. Be better than John smoltz. For me Game 1 was a push. Good starting pitching by both. Also remember that our offense has done almost nothing. It's been our pitchers and backup catcher doing all the damage. I feel like SF's bullpen and offense have been better. It might not be that much better, but better. Game 1 was a push but losing in 13 innings was a decisive victory, got it. And it's the top of the horsefeathering 6th inning, Jesus.

I just can't believe any one who has watched this team all year thinking there are some fatal flaws on this team that either developed in the last 20 hours or have someone been there all year hiding behind a 103 win team. Over 162 games, we win 60% of our games against the giants. Over 5 games, who knows. But to imply or outright say this team sucks is asinine.

I would have kinda loved to see chapman in this spot instead of wood.

How the horsefeathers has hunter pence had good at bats in this series
-
No.

Busting out time.
-
Should I create a new account to turn into rondon fan or can I just do it here
-
That stayed fair because he cares less guys.
-
Oh good, I was hoping to see Derek lows donkey face
-
Why are we playing in?
-
Two brothers atom smasher. That's a metaphor for either what the Cubs are about to do or what is going to happen in my apartment afterwards.
-
Why? You should want it to go 5. That eliminates seeing neither of Scherzer or Kershaw 3 times. Scherzer doesn't scare me. Scherzer going twice on short rest scares me even less.

4 home runs in 144 PAs from the right side (1 per 36 PAs) 9 home runs in 407 PAs from the left side (1 per 45 PAs) 876 OPS from the right side, 827 OPS from the left side.
-
I know Contreras grades out as a plus defensive catcher, but I still think you'd prefer Ross back there on the defensive side, after you factor in pitch calling, framing, the intangibles, etc. That makes the choice a little more of a wash in terms of who to start, and then you consider Contreras has a pretty significant advantage over Ross when it comes to pinch hitting, and I'm good with it. I think if we need offense Joe won't hesitate to put in Soler early, either if Lackey has a short outing or if he wants to pull Heyward.
-
Yeah that was ugly. Monty again until someone gets on. Top of the order coming up for us.
-
Do you even consider Ross here? LaStella to the infield, Bryant to the outfield.
-
What do you do though? Give them the afternoon game and have nothing going in prime time? Or have both games going up against each other? Either way, you're going to have the people paying them pretty pissed off.

Tim...definitely appreciate you doing everything you can to keep this up and running. Seems like it's been a tough night. Thank you very much!
