What's interesting about this series is while it has been very compelling as a whole, only one game (3) has been interesting to watch. The average margin of victory has been 6 runs and I have only watched one game past the 6th inning. I'm hopeful tonight is more like game 3 than games 4, 5 or 6.

All the guys the Giants wanted to save they did. They didn't use a single key reliever and they pulled Petit after one inning. Non-factor going into tonight.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-29-2014, 11:23 AM

Saw that in the last 9 Game 7 WS games, the home team is 9-0. We do NOT want to be the one to break that streak.

Especially since it'll likely be another thirty years before the Royals make it back!

We're now officially a dynasty. No worries.

Karlifornia · 10-29-2014, 12:21 PM

Really, Sun? Shitting on Bochy? After all this?

I'd say the bigger blunder was starting Volquez in a one game playoff.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-29-2014, 04:25 PM

This town has just shut down over the past couple of days. Had two things cancelled last night and my daughter's gymnastic gym also shut down for the day. Everyone's focused on these games. It's just nuts. It's going to be weird going back to a sense of normalcy after the excitement of this past month for this city.

Good news is that Mizzou's first basketball pre-season game is tonight. Thanks to the Royals, there's not much down time between my two favorite sports!!!!!!

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-29-2014, 04:49 PM

That sucks for Renteria, especially since the Cubs were showing some progress. Though big time hires like these seem to seldom work out.

Coffee Warlord · 10-29-2014, 05:48 PM

Maddon's agent and the Cubs are both denying a deal is in place.

Definitely nervous, unlike the last two

The only reason to ever take a managerial job with a losing club that isn't expecting to immediately contend is for resume purposes if it's a large market club, or if the club is small/medium market (and thus unlikely to splash the cash on a "name" to replace you once they're ready to win).

Lathum · 10-29-2014, 07:35 PM

Giants get a few early runs this could be lights out with Baumgartner looming.

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 07:36 PM

Come on big hit...

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 07:39 PM

Or solid baseball. Sac Fly. Sac Fly.

Lathum · 10-29-2014, 07:41 PM

Will be curious to see if the Royals start pressing.

But overall there have been 36 World Series game 7's and it's 18-18. So it's still a crapshoot.

Karlifornia · 10-29-2014, 07:52 PM

Come on, double play

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 07:52 PM

More Sac Flys.

BillJasper · 10-29-2014, 07:54 PM

Wonder if the Bumgartner (sp?) talk got into Hudson's head?

Sun Tzu · 10-29-2014, 07:58 PM

What a disgustingly mismanaged series for Bochy. Unlike 2010 and 2012, if the Giants pull this thing out it will be in spite of their hard-headed manager.

Travis Ishikawa has been a disaster in LF, and Bumgarner not starting games 4 and 7 is absolutely unforgivable.

sterlingice · 10-29-2014, 08:03 PM

I think all teams hate their managers. On the RR thread, there's a guy talking about how stupid it was that Ventura didn't come out after 7-0 because he could have pitched tonight.

SI

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 08:14 PM

That's a DP, but I'm bias.

Do think they got him by a fraction.

Incredible double play turn by Panik and Crawford.

EagleFan · 10-29-2014, 08:21 PM

Why do some players still dive in to first base? If he runs through that he is safe.

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 08:46 PM

And MadBum begins to warm up...

EagleFan · 10-29-2014, 08:53 PM

I think they make an ointment for that, should stop the burning you feel as it warms up...

sterlingice · 10-29-2014, 08:56 PM

I want to see what he has after 117 the other night. I'm irrationally confident about him getting hit and Bochy leaving him in too long

I feel exactly the opposite.

I hope you are right. I really, really hope you are right.

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 09:25 PM

Likely to see Bumgarner for one more inning then Romo/Lopez.

Lathum · 10-29-2014, 09:27 PM

I don't think the Royals are going to touch the Giants pitching from this point on.

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 09:28 PM

An insurance run would sure be nice.

MizzouRah · 10-29-2014, 09:33 PM

ISiddiqui · 10-29-2014, 09:54 PM

Joe Buck is seriously just trying to jinx Bumgarner.

miami_fan · 10-29-2014, 09:56 PM

Escobar gets a hit here, right? Like he would have during his first AB against MadBum?

kingfc22 · 10-29-2014, 09:57 PM

No RH PH here for Aoki?

Aoki basically has no splits- pretty equal against righties and lefties. Tho Willingham would have been good

cartman · 10-29-2014, 10:02 PM

Gotta leave Bumgarner in there for the 9th, at least until he allows a baserunner.

And please score an insurance run.
