October 30, 201411 yr Bunting/sacrificing with your best average/hottest second half and post-season hitter (Escobar) to have a LH batter 0 for 16 career (and well played by Perez in LF) face Bumgarner is clearly going to be one of the most questioned moves if the Royals lose this game. Then again, Cain was still overmatched....but we'll never know how Escobar would have done if they played for the big inning. It's just as possible Cain and Hosmer would have gone down, leaving it up to Butler against Bumgarner to drive in two runs with two outs. Edited October 30, 201411 yr by caulfield12
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) I think Bumgarner is giving up at least 2 runs, just a hunch. Next year
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Next year Ha, he is straight dealing. Even if KC were to come back and win this game, he almost still deserves MVP honors in a losing effort.
October 30, 201411 yr I know Madison is doing great but how do you not have someone in the bullpen getting ready just in case
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) Is Bum better than Sale? World Series Bumgarner? Yes Regular season Bumgarner? Not a chance
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) Madison or Casilla in the 9th? 2 out of 3 lefties. I would leave him in.
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) Madison or Casilla in the 9th? Casilla isn't warming so Madison.. But you have to have him warming up ready just in case. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) 2 out of 3 lefties. I would leave him in. Yep so would I...interesting decision though
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Yep so would I...interesting decision though If there is a runner in after those 3, then I think you pull him.
October 30, 201411 yr I don't mind the Giants at all, but I really want the Royals to win. Come on KC!
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) Madison or Casilla in the 9th? Leave Madison in, but have Casilla and maybe even Javy Lopez warming up. If the Giants hold on, that Panik glove toss DP will be just as important as Bum G.

October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) I don't mind the Giants at all, but I really want the Royals to win. Come on KC! For a team on the verge of their 3rd title in 5 years, the Giants really don't get a lot of pub.
October 30, 201411 yr Madison is a big time pitcher, can't see the Royals doing any damage in the 9th.
October 30, 201411 yr This world series has just been plain fun outside of yesterday's game. Whatever happens it has been entertaining.
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Madison is a big time pitcher, can't see the Royals doing any damage in the 9th. This is the team that got to Lester and then came back later in the game. It doesn't appear anyone would be able to hit this guy, but you never know.
