October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) It doesn't matter if you throw 100 when they know it's coming and it's in a hittable location. On 0-2 the ball should be nowhere near the strikezone.
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) On 0-2 the ball should be nowhere near the strikezone. Especially against Baez. He whiffed like crazy on the first breaking ball.
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) That was my biggest concern with the Giants in this series - lack of a shutdown reliever. Bochy didn't help matters that inning though and Crawford not turning double play may be the difference in the game. Have to execute in the playoffs, there is very little margin for error. Thought Crawford coulda made the play on Bryant's single too. And he gave them a run earlier in the game on the Baez error
October 12, 20169 yr Giants bullpen converted 43 saves in 2016. They blew 32 saves. That's unbelievable for a playoff team.
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Giants bullpen converted 43 saves in 2016. They blew 32 saves. That's unbelievable for a playoff team. What's unbelievable is Bochy using five f***ing relievers in a single inning with a sizable lead. He got too f***ing cute and blew an amazing opportunity to knock the Cubs out of the playoffs.
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) What's unbelievable is Bochy using five f***ing relievers in a single inning with a sizable lead. He got too f***ing cute and blew an amazing opportunity to knock the Cubs out of the playoffs. But, in theory, he was playing the BEST matchups, the odds of NONE of them working out is kind of crazy.
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Giants bullpen converted 43 saves in 2016. They blew 32 saves. That's unbelievable for a playoff team. Especially considering they had zero wins when losing after 8th inning. Ouch. Edited October 12, 20169 yr by soxfan2014
October 12, 20169 yr Can't be marching out your 3rd and 4th best relievers to face the heart of the Cubs order just because they pitch from the same side.

October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 05:07 AM) Hate seeing wife beaters celebrate. I'm sure those fans that hated him for his past when they traded for him love him now
October 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) Well, Brandon Crawford's botched DP caused them the game. Error on the most routine play earlier did too.

With a three run lead, I'd rather give a single reliever the chance to develop some rhythm. Not easy coming into a high leverage situation in the playoffs to face one batter.
