The game is a formality at this point. Everyone knows KC’s got this. It reminds me of the ALCS about 10 years ago between the Yankees & Red Sox. Yankees won the first three then after the Red Sox swept the next three everyone knew they would take game 7 also.
The only real question is if Bumgarner could possibly be a game changer. I say no because the KC bats are hot and they will stay hot due to the home crowd. Bumgarner will be working on short rest and he won’t come in until the Royals have already touched up Hudson and have taken the lead.

As a Giants fan, I hope you’re wrong… but I think you might be right. The Giants needed to sweep their home games, or win yesterday. I don’t think Bochy should of thrown Peavy. I knew the Royals were going to jump on him, though, I didn’t think it would be that bad.
My prediction: if Blanco gets a hit in the first two pitches, of the game, then the Giants will have a good chance, OR if Posey finally hits a homer. They have to take the momentum right off the bat (pun not intended).

I’m from Belmont California so I hope I’m wrong too.
First two pitches? Why wouldn’t you at least give him the whole 1st at bat?
I think it’s the bottom of the Giants order that needs to give them a chance. Panik will produce, the Panda will figure out a way to scrap out a hit or two and Pence will crazy his way to a couple of hits. The bottom of the order will have to contribute. Crawford has been scrapping it out and he needs to continue. Belt looked scared last night and Ishikawa looked like he knew he couldn’t hit Herrera and he just accepted it. That has got to change. Oh yeah, and Posey needs to start stroking it.
I’m surprised they’re not going to Bumgarner for long relief. I wouldn’t expect them to mess with their late game relief that is so solid. So, was talk of Bumgarner being ready today just a bluff?

Good SP doesn’t necessarily translate into good relief pitcher.

Game time![/quote]
If Blanco got a hit it would of kept Guthrie from settling in. Something about going to the stretch so soon. From my experience it rattles the pitcher, though, not as much as hitting a batter…

Fuck man, did anyone’s else’s heart pound when the runner made it to 3rd on the error by Blanco?
I didn’t give 2 fucks who won this World Series, but holy shit was that ever exciting.[/quote]
I’m pretty sure he would have scored if he kept going. Who knows what would have happened then. Maybe the game would still be tied 3-3 and Bumgarner would still be pitching.

I suspected this. Can’t say I won’t be disappointed if he goes to Boston. I remember meeting him in 2005, when I was a bat boy for the Volcanoes.
He had a 3 year 17 million contract and would of had a 5 year 90 million if he stayed… Seems like a nice raise to continue playing for a team who has been extremely successful.
