A.J. Pierzynski, former Giant.

He needs to brush up on his acting, because that dive was atrocious. Glad the commentators actually called him on it and laughed at him for it. That was shameful. But it's Pierzynski, and he's a ****face.

..and giants should blow the team up

 

[Timo Time]

Keep plugging away.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Oh my god Choate, you actually got someone out. Time to celebrate!


We still got this, bullpen vs bullpen I like our chances against anyone.

 

[zombie kopitar]

double play baby

 

[sharkbite3]

Matheny is gonna lose this challenge.

 

[slocal]

Will take that slop any day! Keep building on that, boys!

Edit: 6-4!!!

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Just wearin 'em out, classic Giants playoff baseball. Single, walk, single, sac fly, groundout, error, error, walk, single, groundout. 6-4.

I wonder how many pitches they've forced compared to other teams in the post.

@LangoschMLB: This is the #STLCards eighth postseason game this year and they will not have taken a lead into the seventh in a single one of them.


Pretty crazy stat.

Seriously. I bet they have the most pitches per AB and least strikeouts per game than any other team. And when you are constantly walking, putting the ball in play, and getting to the other team's bullpen early, this is what happens. Billy Beane would be proud.

That's the thing though, even Pablo's seeing a bunch of pitches this postseason! He (like most of the team) is a different player in the playoffs.

I really hope Bochy secretly records country music. That or ZZ Top covers. His voice is awesome.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Yesmiro Petit should be the Giants MVP of the postseason if one existed. He has been awesome, from the 6 inning outing in the 18th inning game to really helping the bullpen tonight. What a game for the Giants and I'm excited for tomorrow.

His one pitch double play at bat last night pissed me off to no end, but yeah he has taken more pitches than usual this postseason.

So true. I hope he has an alter ego like Ron Swanson's Duke Silver.

So glad Giants got the win. Of course the wife was non thrilled (yes she's a Dodger fan. I know!... I know!)

Anyway really want this team to close it out tonight. No need to fly back to the city i refuse to re-visit unless I really have to.

Then so you got the Royals. Sure they swept everyone in the AL but for some reason I just think the AL is crappy. So who knows what could happen should the Giants advance tonight?

Get'er done MadBaum!

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

So let's say it's the bottom of the 8th and the Giants are up 9-0 in Game 5. Out of 70 ESPN "experts," how many will still pick the Cardinals to win the series?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Royals got both of their runs on an error yesterday. I've never seen so many playoff games decided by things like errors and wild pitches. Crazy.

1. To think the Giants will get 9 runs and be 9-0 is making laugh but then I stop and wait... 8-0 against Pirates, yesterday 6 to 4. Ok yeah it can happen.

2. all them experts will pick the cards and they will pick the royals too, no matter who goes. Works for me cause as we say, when no one picks the Giants, they produce miracles!
