World Series Roster Discussion Thread

[calsnowskier]

Another point i just thought of ... we've had discussions about moving runners over and how Boch hates it .... the Royals had 6 sacrifice hits (same as us) ... but they were done with position players .... not pitchers. They used it as an offense weapon. Much different mind set than us ...

To be fair...

We criticize Bochy for not playing small-ball based on his tendencies in the regular season. In the post-season, we have seen amazing small-ball from everyone in the lineup, including our MVP-like, #4-hitting 1B (Huff).

Bochy plays to win in the Post-season. He plays to gauge his team in the regular season.

I wonder how many fly balls Ish will be shagging before Tue?

Congrats to the Royals and SF. As a Yankee fan Giants are my 2nd fav team and if SF wins this WS this is a modern day Dynasty. 3 WS in 5 years. Crazy.

Giants will keep Lincecum on World Series roster - San Jose Mercury News

Lincecum will once again take up a roster spot.


I guess the 25th spot is just for appearance-sake now

So if we're gettin' blown out and Petit isn't available then he gets to pitch, or if we're up by 8 in the 7th, that too.

As pointed out upthread, we're not leaving that much on the table here.

It sucks but no one waiting in wings that doesn't have issues...
