“There was a moment in the first game after his second at-bat,” bench coach Donnie Ecker said of García, “I walked up to him and said, ‘The only other player I’ve seen get booed like this on the road is Michael Jordan. Like, dude, how lucky are you?' It just brought out the best in him. [He's] such a special person, I can’t even quantify it.”

It was really plain to see and I felt bad for him. Hope he's able to help us repeat next year.

I see what you did here

 

[Kelleyman]

All of this sure has messed up our draft position next year, lol.

Lol good problems. Right??

Yes, indeed. In fact, it makes the process of figuring out who we might take a lot more interesting.

For those wondering which team they should want to win tonight, Arizona does not have any lefty starting pitchers. That means Bochy can start Evan Carter every game.

They have 3.

Joe Mantliply had a bad ERA this year, but a good WHIP. He finished the regular season well. He has struggled in the postseason with an ERA of 5.79.

Kyle Nelson had a decent year, but finished very poorly. He has been used extremely sparingly in the postseason, only 2 innings with a 4.50 ERA.

Andrew Saalfeank has only pitched 10 innings in the regular season. He did well, but very few strikeouts. He has bad numbers in the postseason over only 3 innings.
