Well that sucks. Lincecum was throwing really good. I hope it's nothing serious and he will be able to pitch again this series. He's fun to watch.

Lincecum has to be one of the most unique careers ever. Big fan of that guy.

Going to the pen without bitching after being the best pitcher in the game for 4 years was awesome.

He was the ace in '10, Cain in '12 and now Bumgarner. That may be one of the most amazing things I've seen in baseball.

Yeah, thats insane. Great drafting.

How bout this run of first round draft picks

06 Lincecum
07 Bumgarner
08 Posey
09 Zack Wheeler (traded for Beltran)

RPB, prospects don't matter.

Has Bumgarner signed a long-term deal? He better get his ASAP before he sucks in 2-3 years.

I know you're joking but Im the last guy you need to tell that


I just dont count my chickens before they've hatched

maybe you noticed something a little different about 3 of those 4 than the one's you are implying

I agree.

He could still have something to say about this series. A long extra inning game that he comes in and goes 4-5 innings and gets a W.

looks like a 1-0 game here and Yost is out managing Bochy

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

And to think the "experts" gave the Giants heat for drafting Joe Panik in the 1st round. I love the Brian Sabean.

That dumbass threw over to first base twice with an American League relief pitcher at the plate. I don't understand what these guys are thinking.

I'm getting sick of this Ned Yost has been "masterful" using his bullpen bullshit. Oh gee which unhittable reliever am I going to bring in now?? I guess I'll bring in this guy. Oh wait maybe I'll put in that guy. Well maybe I'll bring in that other guy. Well I have that one guy too. Decisions decisions.

Petit is a better option thsn Vogelsong or Peavy

Any talk about going to DH for both leagues was just, thankfully, squelched at least for quite a while after this inning tonight.

Thanks, Bruce, for over-extending your pitcher in a World Series game for the long-term greater good!

Fundamentals matter. Royals have scored 4 since Vogelsong was late to the bag on ehst should have been the 3rd out


Petit woulda covered

Bruce should have went with Baumgardner in this game.

No it was a lack of fundamentals, I was referring to. Either way I wouldnt credit or rip the manager. Thdyre fuckin major leaguers. Its very simple stuff.


I believe the biggest affect a manager can have is the culture snd atmosphere he creates. As far as that goes Yost and Bochy are both great. In game decisions are where Ned usually struggles

Or Petit tonight Bum tomorrow

When we look back in a couple years starting this hack over a stretched out ready to go Petit will be laughable

Have you read this?

Good article


Look the guy melted down two seasons in a row with a contending playoff team in Milwaukee (so much so that he was fired a week before the playoffs) and he makes lots of odd calls. His reputation is earned.


And then there are some things that are so stupid they blow your credibility forever. Like Lovie Smith. I'm a fan but I could never completely trust him after the Sea playoff game timeout. Yost has had a few of those (two in the wc game against Oak)

Petit just throwing up zeroes like always

Far be it from me to be an old school grndy type guy but there is no quit in either of these teams and these games have been very well played

Did Reynolds just say "like going to Nassau?"

Agreed, Bryan. This has been a good series.

Probably. I think he's said every word in existance


These new guys need to learn how to lay out

Coulda been Rodon
