I know baseball doesn't occupy the same level of pre-eminence that it may have had fifty years ago, but it is the championship, and it still a great game. Royals up 3-0 in the sixth. Great defense all around.

The Vogelsong is off key.

Would you have started Bumgarner on short rest?

Giants take the lead, someone finally gets to that KC bullpen.

Duffy cannot bunt, which changed the whole game.

I think.
IF he buts the runner over and comes back out to pitch who knows. The lack of DH is the genius of baseball.

absolutely not on Bumgarner!!!!
I told you what plan B was ... pull him real early after 3 inn. with 5=0 lead ... and come back in game 3.

or pull him after 4 or 5 inn., then you can come back in game 4 today ...but he went 109 pitches in a 7-1 victory? ... I guess no lead is safe in that KC ballpark with that lineup full of sluggers and a weak SF bullpen. SO he had to go 109 pitches >>>>>>>???? Is that it?

they did think of it.
southern teams veto it because they lose attendance if their home games are skewed toward March ... nobody wants a disproportionate number of March games.

Hey, good for you. I have a life beyond mocking something not as important as a fig leaf. Congratulations.

Yes, horrible news, Cardinals OF Oscar Taveras, one the best-ranked prospects in the country, was killed in car crash in the DR. 22 years old. RIP.

I had switched to SNF for a minute and had just flipped back to the Series and heard them talking about it. A terrible shock after watching him this year in STL.

over 6 days 22nd to the 28th, Holland & Casilla will have thrown a total of 11 pitches between them.

Especially Casilla under-utilized.

The closer thing is wrong in the postseason with all the off days. There is a better way.

the only good news for KC is that Bumgarner has limited avail.

Bruce don’t trust Casilla ...

CGS for Bumgarner.

Fun fact from Joe Buck, no HRs in 3 straight WS games for the first time since 1948.

Holy cow ... Baumgarner is the monster on the mound...

That guy is freaking amazing.

Wish the damned Phillies would put up some $$$$ for a pitcher of his caliber...

is he doing a lonborg and coming back in game 7? for a few innings?

Lonborg did 6 inn, I think.

I’d almost guarantee SF will play Buamgarner in Game 7 if it goes that far.

That guy has a rifle for an arm.

Paints the corners like a “Michaelangelo of the Mound”.
