GDT 10/25 World SERIOUS Game 2

[SFAnthem]

They made 2 base running gags today, too. In a pitchers dual, that is HUGE!!

Which is surprising with Leyland's NL experience. Complexion of the game changes if the tigers take the early lead.

I guess that's more the 3B coach's fault, tho

MLB network guys also pointing out that Peralta, the on-deck hitter, did not help Fielder at all. He was a spectator, and not in position to tell Fielder to slide towards the outside of the plate.

Just a warning, guys...

I am breaking my Playoff ritual for game 3. I will be watching with my bro and his kids. We are up 2, so I figure we can risk it.

I think it will be ok, providing you sacrifice one of your goats.

Great job by Bum tonight

Props to Pence , 4 really good AB's

 

[Stokes1931]

Thanks for the kind words brotha.

I know you don't want to hear it right now, but good game and there's still a lot of baseball left. Tigers are tough at home and Sanchez is tough on the G-men.

Darn near unhittable, just like Verlander.

 

[Stokes1931]

Yep. Game one: pounded them AL style - Game two: death by a thousand cuts NL style.

tzill approved, no doubt.

 

[Stokes1931]

I tell you, what a contrast to the defense now vs. what we saw in the first month of the season.

That wasn't defense, it was simply offensive. Averaged about 2 errors a game there for a while. :wacko:

Ah... good point. Reminds me to stamp this thread with:

Are you kidding?!? You gotta respect the streak, dude! Do you wanna be the one, years from now, answering your grandson?

"Grandpa, what happened to the Giants back in 2012?"

"Well, kiddo, I decided to break my ritual......"

Don't let this be you, Cal!

 

[Robotech]

Wow. Pretty good start by our boys. Hate to say it, but I hope this was the last game at AT&T Park this season.

 

[tzill]

Not good ... I actually like your team, you have a great ball park and beautiful city. Your fans are awesome as well. Anything I don't like about the Bay Area has to do with politics (Gov. Jerry Brown is cool though).

Meh...he went to the wrong HS.

lol my sister went to SI (one of the first co-ed years)

he's no Larry Baer

 

[tzill]

Yeah, i carry no ill will to the tigers. I thoroughly enjoyed them eliminating the A's and all their 3 month old "die hard fans"

Strong early contender for POTG.

I have made several sacrificial offerings to Bloopus, the god of BABIP.

Just a warning, guys...

Save us all. Must pay homage to Bloopus!!

(I totally thought of Bloopus when I saw Blanco's bunt)

 

[tzill]

Now there's an asshole!

Silence, alt!

 

[TheSaboteur]

May Bloopus be with us all.

Might as well skip to game 4

 

[gp956]

Pence's swings were looking much better tonight. He's close.

 

[tzill]

Way to go! 2 hit the mighty tigers. Incredible.

 

[gp956]

Bum had some nice tilt on the slider.
