World Series Game 2: Giants@Royals

[Sprowl]

¡Adelante, Gigantes!

 

[soxhop411]

“@BrianCostaWSJ: 9:30am fire alarm woke up some Giants at team hotel today. Similar thing happened during 2012 World Series in Detroit. Amazing coincidence.”

 

[soxhop411]

“@BillShaikin: Fox: In Kansas City, 68% of TV sets in use last night were tuned to #Royals. In SF? 50%.”

Numbers will be higher tonight I bet

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It's harder for the folks in KC to watch something else because they have to get up and change the channel with a pair of pliers.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Can't keep dry eyes any time the Bryan Stow story is repeated.

This absolutely deserves some applause. I laughed.  :bravo:

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

I'm conflicted. I want the Royals to win this series. I also want to root for Jake Peavy to do well. I guess I'm hoping for a 9th inning walk off win for the Royals to break a 0-0 tie with Jake going 8 strong.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Oh oh, Ace Ventura said he's been talking to another Dominican Republic pitcher every couple of days. Three guesses, first two don't count. 

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Kapler just said or at least implied that when the Sox were down 3-0 in 2004, before game 4 Papi was taking fielding practice at 1B to prepare to play in the national league park in the WS.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Finally getting in to the Gotham Club at AT&T to watch the (televised) game.

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]Really stirring visit by Giants media rep Amy Guttierez to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and its president Bob Kendrick. That would be my priority in a KC visit. [/SIZE]

Kapler dropping ISO in the middle of a soundbite.

Love it. He's got a shitload of charisma. I hope he ends up doing more broadcasting work.

That was fantastic.  For those that didn't see it, each panelist was asked to pick a player that would do well tonight -- Kapler picked Butler because he has a great ISO against the four-seam fastball.  He then got gently mocked by the panel, but mostly by Frank Thomas who had just picked Alex Gordon, since he's 0 for his last 11 (actually 0-14).

Explained it short and sweet too.

 

[Yelling At Clouds]

I would love to see NESN give him a shot next time Remy takes another extended sabbatical. 

 

[soxhop411]

Did he just call Pablo mr October?

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

100 in, 110 out.

 

[staz]

Haha FU KC

 

[Puffy]

Well, 8 straight fastballs....

 

[Pearl Wilson]

Saw that coming.

 

[bankshot1]

and TV sets start to dim in the heartland

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

So do the Royals get a lead in the series?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Blanco looks pissed off -- offended that he tried to throw him that pitch.

 

[staz]

Jake's rubbing his eyes. Rut Ro

 

[Al Zarilla]

Too bad he doesn't throw 97 anymore. He could be like Ryne Duren. 

 

[soxhop411]

Did he just call Pablo mr October?

Yup.. I went back and it was none other then HR

 

[DJnVa]

Bochy's goal is 4 or 5 innings for Peavy?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Crawford got glove on that OK, is the glove broken in?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Apparently Yost claims he never calls for a steal, but that his players have the green light. Steal now?
 
Rats. Should have bunted.

 

[DJnVa]

So, HR mentions Peavy is a good candidate to be run on.
 
Then it's revealed that runners are only 1 of 4 against him in postseason.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Did he just call Pablo mr October?

Señor October is much better in Pablo's case.

 

[Al Zarilla]

So, HR mentions Peavy is a good candidate to be run on.

Like Joe Morgan deciding who could run and who couldn't.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Señor October is much better in Pablo's case.

Ahem. Senor Octubre.

 

[Yazdog8]

Nice throw. Replay?

 

[DJnVa]

Ooooo, I need a replay.

 

[staz]

That was tight

 

[staz]

Out

 

[Al Zarilla]

That's all right, Buster. 

 

[soxhop411]

safe??

 

[DJnVa]

He's out.
 
So, HR says Peavy is good to run on, runners now 1 of 5 in postseason running on him.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ahem. Senor Octubre.

OK, Octubre.

 

[DJnVa]

safe??

 
Eh? Did you see replay?

 

[soxhop411]

He's out.
 
So, HR says Peavy is good to run on, runners now 1 of 5 in postseason running on him.

He annoys me

 

[DJnVa]

The throw overs are "exciting" per HR.

 

[soxhop411]

 
Eh? Did you see replay?

posted as the replay was shown

 

[Average Reds]

Hate when the ump is proven right.

 

[Yazdog8]

So that CS may have cost the Royals a run.

 

[soxhop411]

Harold Reynold is making me miss Tim McCarver

 

[DJnVa]

So, do announcers know anything else about Cain except that he's a latecomer to baseball?
 
EDIT: I love that Buck said "these guys can all run" and he's talking about a team with Billy Butler on it.
