Agreed. Let's do this nine more times after tonight.
-
I wish I didn't feel as nervous about Rondon coming in as I do. Get Strop throwing next to Chapman, please.
-
When Bumgarner two hopped Bryant it was the hardest hit ball of all time but 'somehow' Panik struggled with that rope of a one-hopper horsefeathers off Bob.
-
Wow Vogelbach actually started three games at first base for the Mariners down the stretch? Would have loved to see that. Anyways, thanks!
-
That was a really frustrating 3 minutes or whatever. Stupid Costas, stupid rule, stupid-ish play by Baez. Whatever. Oh good, Costas goes back to being baseball Pierre McGuire.
-
So this is not at all going how I anticipated in terms of donging their sad sack bullpen, but now that we can get to Monty/Strop/Rondon/Chapman, I'm still entirely confident.
-
Edwards pitching to Contreras in a playoff game makes me really happy.
-
It's unreal how the vast majority of MLB playoff broadcasts are total ass. This doesn't happen for any other sport.
-
Was that Duncan Keith?
-
Oh right Conor gillaspie is a garbage baseball player an so one swing doesn't change a career of garbage.
-
Not ideal. Let's go Monty.
-
We are absolutely fine. Seriously..plan their pitchers for the rest of the game. Try to keep a straight face.
-
Every time they show Hendricks walking off the mound, I can't decide if I see more 2003 Conor oberst or the weird brother from wedding crashers.
-
Yeah take a look through the Giants bullpen stats and it gets hilarious trying to figure out how they fill 7 innings. Unless Matt Moore is about to come in this is about to get ugly.

Nice call smoltz

This very mortal looking Clayton Kershaw is a pretty encouraging development. -
This has been a really interesting game to watch. The field is worse than what you'd see at your local park district. Just the whole setting is really...unique, I guess is the best/nicest way to say it. Plus some Cuban guy just spiked one of our guys in the head (I know basically nothing about American soccer outside of the basics) and the color guy has been ripping into the ref for the last 5 minutes. Plus the hot mic caught jurgen screaming 'are you horsefeathering blind' at the ref.

No Hammel, no Caesar.

I guess it depends on who's expectations you're talking about. I don't think we were considered an underdog nationally, but I could see the different expectations just because it was a year before Theo's plan was supposed to pay off, so it was a free year or whatever. Either way, I thought we were better than the Mets (and cardinals) last year, and we're better than the giants this year. Hopefully that'll play out starting tomorrow.
-
How so? We were the best team in the national league (if not all of baseball, don't remember anything about the American League) going into the playoffs. We're the best team now.

Oh yeah, so this is why the Red Sox didn't just blow everyone away. -
I couldn't tell exactly what roster set-up/playing time distribution they were using, because towards the bottom they had the Dodgers at 117 wins, but I assume the main idea behind it was a healthy Kershaw, Hill, and Maeda pitching 75% of the games, as opposed to 60%.
-
Soler's numbers against Cueto look really solid. Do we want him out of the game? I could buy Cog's .798 OPS in 20 PAs as meaningful or maybe Javy's 4 Ks in 6 PAs but I wouldn't take much from Georgie's 2-3 with a double. Personally I just want to see the Voltron defense in as much as possible. Coghlan's bat is preferable to Javy's against a righty, but I don't think it makes up for the defensive downgrade, especially against a team that puts so many balls in play. Plus that gives you another lefty off the bench with Montero to make it less likely we'll see LaStella. Or if Joe wants to use Contreras as a pinch hitter and therefore Miggy has to be the backup catcher.

Hasn't Baez been playing third for most of Lester's starts, which would push Bryant to left field for game 1?
