Oh em gee, two forced runs in a row!
This is actually kind of painful to watch.
Yeah…I mean, I’ll gladly take the runs, but man…
My dad: It’s too bad the Giants aren’t as good as the Rangers, huh? Imagine how well they’d be doing if they were as good as the Rangers.
Me: They’d be ahead by 30 runs!
Well, we’ve obviously been done for since the start of this inning. So I will say goodnight and good game to y’all. See everyone on Saturday.
Good night faithfool…keep your chin up…
Just an awful performance by Texas, and to be honest the announcers are entirely, one hundred percent right in their criticism of Ron Washington’s handling of his bullpen. Had he attacked the Giants more aggressively it might well be 2-0 instead of 9-0.
I have a lot of respect for Ron Washington, but his handling of his bullpen here has been simply random and stupid. And now he’s warming up his Game 4 starter in a game his team is losing by nine runs. What the fuck is Washington doing?
I suspect this is one of the worst innings a team has ever played in the World Series. It is certainly the worst managed.
This is just getting surreal now.
My cousin just posted on her Facebook page:
“Nolan Ryan may have to come in to shut this inning down”
I think they are out of relief pitchers now or very close to it, that’s why a starter is in the bullpen.
7 runs scored with 2 outs, I wonder if that is a world series record.
My dad lives and dies by the Giants. I think this game may have extended his life expectancy by 6 months.
Of course when you are down by 9 you could put a shortstop in to pitch, teams have done that. I think in most cases the guy they put in is a former pitcher.
shutout!
Well done Giants!
Texas just didn’t have an answer to Cain…never mind that 8th inning…
It was nice to see the Giants get a few insurance runs there in the eighth.
Neftali Feliz waves hi.
Teams do not want to waste a closer in a blowout game. That’s why Wilson did not pitch for the Giants. Not to mention a closer only pitches when you are ahead except in rare cases.
It’s the goddamn World Series. That’s a rare case.
Didn’t stop Bochy yesterday, although given the way RamRam was sucking, it may have been for the best.
That being said, I’d like to thank the Rangers bullpen for reminding me tonight that, yes, there are shittier relievers out there than Ramon Ramirez. Warms this Red Sox/ Giants fan’s heart.
You are down 1-0 in games in the World Series. It’s the bottom of the 8th inning. You are trailing 2-0 in the game. You have a day off tomorrow.
You pitch Neftali Feliz. End of story.
