and what's the deal with the Dude siting behind home plate wearing the Marlins jacket!?!?

Yeah, I wondered that the second I saw him.

I think the Royals will take 2 in SF

I'd like to take this opportunity to go on record predicting that the Giants sweep the Royals in San Fran and take the Series.

In fact, I guarantee it.

The weather here for tonight's game 3 will be perfect......clear, light breeze, 70º.

Rain is expected for tomorrow night's game 4.

No way Kimosabe!

#Royals became the 2nd team ever to lose Game 1 of a #WorldSeries by 5 or more runs & then win Game 2 by 5 or more runs #PostseasonProgram

Hammer, I keep telling you, this doesn't fool the baseball gods one bit.

It's not gonna work.

Yost with a new line up. Obviously he had to change it up with no DH, but this much different than what I expected.

I think you're missing what Hammer is trying to do here...

Meh...all good....the Butler can PH in the late innings....if need be.

Pretty surprising to see Moose bumped up so far in the lineup.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I expected this lineup and espn speculated on it as well. Only surprise is maybe Moose all the way at 5. I was thinking 6th behind Perez to keep the left/right going.

All I know is, the KC OFers better be out there right now learning how to play those AT&T walls, tricky angles and bounces the best they can, or they're gonna be screwed in 1 or more of these 3 games.

Yup and that's a big reason why Dyson is starting. Aoki has been an adventure in RF and since he hasn't hit the decision was really a no brainer.

That big question will be what happens game 5 vs bum

is this guy gonna pitch a bitch again??

Scouts must have really seen something with him going into the playoffs because he's been the worst player for the Giants by a very large margin. I cant imagine we are going to see him again.

Doesn't take a scout to see that he throws hard but his fastball has no movement and he doesn't really have another pitch. A rare error by Bochy to put him in so often. He 'looks' like he could be a closer someday but he's just not ready.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow....the wind has really picked up in the last hour or so out here near UCSF /inner sunset area...
Probably even a lot gustier downtown along the Embarcadero and by the ballpark?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Game on!!!!


Thata boy escobar!!

 

[kcvet]

a Q for you NL fans. im just curious. would you prefer to stay with the pitcher hitting or go to the DH ??
