I hope Hudson goes 8 ip shutout no decision and Royals win in the 9th.

On a suicide squeeze or a double-steal?

Seriously, fun series. Two decent ballclubs in what looks like a post-dynasty era. I really like how Sabean has constructed the Giants and Bochy is a good manager. I thought Bochy clutched a bit last night and overreacted early, but he's a solid manager who gets a lot out of his club.

I do have to laugh though. I kind of see this Perez kid as our version of Danny Bautista. Of course, when Bobby Cox puts Bautista in a big game, he loses a routine fly ball in the lights and seals our doom against the Padres way back when. When Bochy puts Perez into a big game, the kid gets a big hit. We're snakebit I tell ya. Absolutely snakebit.

i feel you are getting a little ahead of yourself

Man, wish we had a good defensive 3B.

[bravesnumberone]

Short leash indeed.

[JusticeForAll23]

Hate that for Huddy. I want the Royals to win, but I wanted to see Hudson pitch well.

[Heyward]

Huddy was throwing meatballs, had nothing tonight.

[The Chosen One]

I only saw a few pitches that inning from Huddy go over 84mph. Unless they were change ups there was definitely something wrong.

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, he didn't look right. If the Giants win tonight, I wouldn't be shocked to see him call it a career to be honest.

Also, these teams better hope this one doesn't go 15 innings. Might run out of pitching.

ALL hands are on deck but its a battle of the penis/whoever is available from here on out.

[bravesnumberone]

Both these teams do a lot of little things right. Big reason they're here.

[Heyward]

Giants needed another run there, KC got a call on the pitch to Crawford.

[bravesnumberone]

Perez is a liability right now for the Royals. Need to go to the backup.

[bravesnumberone]

Bumgarner in. Here we go.

So if the Giants win do you put this team in the same lights as the late 90's Yankees? 3 titles in 5 years. Is Posey the new Jeter and face of baseball?

[bravesnumberone]

It would be impressive, but it's important to note they didn't even make the playoffs in 2011 and 2013. Whereas the Yankees were in it every year and very nearly won 5 of 6. So for that reason, I still think they'd be a notch below those Yankee teams.

Pretty sure it's Trout. The media will make sure it's Trout.

[bravesnumberone]

It will be Jason Heyward once he signs with the Yankees and starts loving baseball.

I agree. Those Yankees teams dominated the regular and post season. Something the Giants haven't done. Still in the end World Titles are what's remembered and I have a feeling 10 years from now this group will be talked about in the same breath as those Yankees teams.

[thewupk]

Pretty sure it's Trout. The media will make sure it's Trout.

Not if he doesn't win a world series.

[bravesnumberone]

Bumgarner is the man. Wonder if they'll bring him out for one more.
