Giants fan here. Been enjoying the boys of KC. What is the chance of the world series…KC vs SF? ---

Real classy, Nats fans, booing Tim Hudson as he left the field, trailing only 1-0. What was up with that? ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Real classy, Nats fans, booing Tim Hudson as he left the field, trailing only 1-0. What was up with that? I think it was generally booing the Giants for taking out a tired pitcher. Like, “Booo! No! Leave him in! We might get TWO runs!” 😃 If there were a rule where you could only change pitchers 3 times in nine innings, the SF Giants record would be 10-152. 😃 😃 Their bullpen is set for any batter it seems. ---

Some awfully close pitches for Panik to take…not strikes, but veeerrrry close. ---

Should have left Zimmerman in, IMO. Edit: Now they REALLY should have left him in! ---

This is going to be a really close call. I’m glad i’m not the replay umpire. Edit: And he’s out. Tied 1-1 going to the bottom of the 9th. Wow. ---

Sorry, Posey, ya don’t get to make your own calls. I like how he rolled into the “safe” position. ---

Man, I understand the thinking behind pulling Zimmerman, but if the Nationals lose this it’s going to be two days of second-guessing the manager. ---

> [@Cubsfan](#): > > Why why why the fuck did they pull Zim?? Argh!! I know. Unbelievable. He pitched 8.2 innings, gave up three hits and one walk, was still looking great, and had just thrown his 100th pitch. Surely you can give him another half-dozen or so to get the last out? ---

Flannery should never have sent Posey home, but I can’t complain about the call. He was out by maybe 3 or 4 inches. Close enough that if the call on the field had been’safe’, I think it would have been upheld. Hoping for extra innings… ---

Zim had a hundred pitches and was throwing watermelons. It was a good call. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-post-season/699860.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-post-season/699860.md?page=17)
