MVPosey!!

MVPOSEY !!!! HR 5-3 Thanks Buster.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Buster CRUSHED that.....

 

[Band of Brothers]

Posey is hotter right now than any other time I think in 2012. A MVP this year is a real possibility.

 

[calsnowskier]

Purely by numbers, Posey is not an MVP candidate. But what he has done this past month, waking the Giants up and getting them right back into this thing, he MAY be a Gibsonesque favorite.

Price on pace to go 8.0; Bum 5.2.

Bumgarner one strikeout away from 200, will be first 200-K season of career

Bottom of the fifth...he's still at 199

 

[calsnowskier]

I do not get Smoltz's argument here.

What kind of disadvantage are you at in the LDS if you AREN'T IN THE LDS?

You have to pitch your ace in the WC game if you can. End of story.

 

[tzill]

I guess ONE 1-2-3 inning from Bum was too much to ask for today....

 

[Band of Brothers]

Bum can be so off and still be the coolest dude in town. Settling down through 5 innings. 85 pitches though.

Bum has not been crisp, but he has still been solid.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Bum is...Clint Eastwood in every movie ever done.

 

[tzill]

Bum gets one more inning, short leash.

Facepalm?

Really?

Bum is not crisp and we are still winning 5-3, and you facepalm.

yeah ... if you don't win the WC game the LDS doesn't amtter much to you! Speaking of WC games .... let's say we don't catch the doggies (take WC) ... who would everyone prefer in a WC game .... MIL or ATL or PITT

 

[Band of Brothers]

Bum = Badass

WC is a booby prize. I refuse to think of it as anything other than a safety net.

 

[calsnowskier]

I know that statistically, hacking works, but it does not pass the eyeball test.

It just LOOKS sloppy.

He's very un-Bum today, and we're walking a thin line....you'd think just ONCE he'd have a clean inning, no?

Leave him be...he likes being the Debbie Downer of the board. Used to upset me, but why should I care? Especially with how wrong he's been this year.
