No action in the Gigante pen.
-
You send him out for the ninth, right? I suspect Romo is warming. I mean, this game is in serious danger of ending before midnight.
-
Jeter's last stand tonight. His 2-2 with a run scored in the All-Star game helped the AL to a 5-3 victory and KC to home field advantage. I got a little money that's saying Bumgarner is an MVP.
-
Apparently he needs to be pricked to trigger his superpower.
-
Bummy suddenly not superhuman!
-
All sorts of reasons. May not add up to the fastest way, but a lot things are going on in the mind of the athlete in motion.
-
In a move that WILL have Hall of Fame repercussions, Tim Hudson gets the hook.
-
A very sacrificial game.
-
I imagine the Cubs were intending to be good little citizens, but Heyman got the scoop.
-
Game already awesome.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: He's always been a really sad case, I think. That article by Pat Jordan a few years back really summed up what a pitiable figure he'd become. http://deadspin.com/372409/chasing-jose-by-pat-jordan " Jose has evolved. But it hasn't been a positive evolution. He's still as opportunistic and self-absorbed as ever. Only now, he's even more desperate." That Jordan article flashed through my head also. Jordan's joke about Jose being unable to "field" offers was obvious, cheap, and tired. But he does a great job exposing the sad false front of a pseudo-celebrity, trying to generate offers by bullshitting about offers he's fielding, and then tragically falling into the slow self-destruction of believing his own bullshit.

So, Hudson vs. Guthrie. Gigantes resisting the temptation to go back to Bumgarner. This is what Bochy has to choose from: [list:2jgomajt]Bumgarner: 2-0 / 0.56 in the World Series Rest of the Giants' rotation: 0-3 / 9.82 ERA in the World Series. [/list:u:2jgomajt] Usual caveats about small sample size, and who knows how Bumgarner can respond on two days rest, but that's one poison pill he's willing to swallow there. Also, Hudson vs. Guthrie gives a combined age of 74 --- oldest Game Seven matchup in World Series history.

I think what they were looking for really wasn't there. I don't think it's in his tools. It's in his approach, which likely developed late, wasn't what a scout would be generally looking at, is hard to spot in the micro, and is most visible in center. I mean, he plays a short centerfield. Very aggressively short. That's not going to show up in a corner, because there just isn't the same benefit, as there isn't that triangle to defend. Similarly but different, his throwing isn't going to knock the scouts out because his arm isn't particularly strong. Nor is it needle-threadingly accurate. He gets the job done because he gets to the ball aggressively and releases it economically in the manner of an infielder charging a hopper. I can understand why scouts wouldn't see this until they had an extended look at him in center. I can see why he wouldn't even be showing this until he had a long look in center. Credit to the Mets for seeing it and helping develop it.

It's good to see Sickels note that Amazin' Avenue was ahead of him and everyone else on seeing the defense. What he's not saying is that Lagares improved because he plays defense differently. And that's the key. He didn't see what was there because he was looking for different things --- or the things he should have seen hadn't shown up yet. Heck, a lot of centerfielders don't even get to play center in the AFL, and I could imagine that what makes him a superior centerfielder wouldn't even show up in left or right.
-
Way to turn momentum around.
-
Poor foolish dude just shot a piece of his hand off.
-
Yeah, it's fab. That's the furthest I've seen the extension captured in a single shot. But I think it went further. Look at the apparent cleat markings in the B, seemingly going three inches above where his cleats currently are.
-
Make sure this catch is again possible. That would be pleasing.
-
Two feet, if you please, Mets. Some outfielders have a long reach.
