Kruk- "Madison Bumgarner came of age in a lot of ways tonight...."

Okay, yes this was a huge moral victory for this team and MadBum himself, but I would say 8 innings in the W.S. was a pretty good "coming of age moment". This was a huge win for the G's and I'm not in anyway trying to diminish Bum's night just poking at Kruk is all.

Time for Big Time Timmy Jim to step up.

8 innings in the Series was a coming of age moment before he knew he had grown up. Maybe, Kruk was saying that last night was a coming of age moment that he could be cognizant of?

Is that some sort of record for a 9 inning game?

According to Baggs:

LOS ANGELES – Anyone who watched Madison Bumgarner outduel Clayton Kershaw knew that Monday night’s game was one that will endure in memory.

But it’s doubtful that any of the 36,878 paying customers realized how special it was.

Bumgarner and Kershaw each struck out 10 and didn’t walk a batter in eight innings. Bumgarner was a bit better in the Giants’ 2-1 victory.

It was only the third time in the live-ball era that two pitchers each compiled at least 10 strikeouts without walking a batter.

That’s right. In at least 91 years of baseball history, over thousands upon thousands of box scores, this has only happened two other times – and never before by two left-handed pitchers.

The other instances all involved right-handers.

On July 12, 1997 at Fenway Park, Toronto’s Roger Clemens struck out 16 and Aaron Sele struck out 11. The Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 3-1.

And on April 9, 2003 at Wrigley Field, Mark Prior struck out 14 in a four-hit shutout. Javier Vazquez struck out 14 in seven innings for Montreal in the Cubs’ 3-0 victory.

Umpire Derryl Cousins worked third base at Fenway that day in 1997. He was working first base Monday night.

Wow, count me among those who didn't realize the historical significance of last night's pitchers' duel. I've always loved that about Bumgarner. That he's efficient with the pitch count and doesn't walk many. How does he do it when so many others fail?
