Absolutely. Tremendous respect for Frisco, especially after they swept the Tigers in 2012. I really like how Bochy rode the horse Bumgarner to finish out the game. I don’t know if any other manager would have done that. One of my biggest pet peeves is the whole idea of a “setup” man and a “closer”. I’d go with who is hot to finish a game or at a minimum pitch them 1 time through the batting order.
That triple was a hard-hit ball too. I was thinking that he'd pull him right there.
In a way I wish someone else had pitched the 9th. I don't want anybody thinking that Bochy left Bumgarner in as a crutch.
