2014 WORLD SERIES (Giants vs. Royals)

[NashLumber]

My whole reaction to KC's body language in the two earlier postseason series was "act like you've been there". The chest beating and taunting won't take you all the way. Can't play with that kind of emotion over a long postseason Now that they ARE there, they are like deer in the headlights. Just wish it had come earlier.

During the 1980 season, George Brett was interviewed while he was making his run at .400.

They asked him what the ball looked like when it came out of the pitcher(s)' hand, and he said, "Like a basketball."

Probably looked a lot smaller the last week of the year, sitting on the bench to protect his average.

He did no such thing.

This is his game log from the 1980 season:

Brett played in every game in the final week of the season, including all 14 innings of a game against the Mariners, in which he went 3-for-6 in 7 plate appearances.

He would have nothing to "protect" anyway, as the next highest batter (Cecil Cooper) in the league was almost 40 points behind him.

Not touching Baumgarner!

No Sir. The Giants don't think they can can be scored on, and if you look in those Royals eyes, you can see they don't think they can score either.

The series isn't going back to KC...and the Royals don't think so, either?

I hope the Giants don't make them look bad 4 straight games.

That fastball/cutter from Duffy is nasty

Fox is making every attempt to make baseball look like a video game.

I do. I hope they expose them for simply the lucky team they were.

If the Giants win this game, and one of their players are asked a similar question as was Dyson about the Orioles last week, I really hope that they do what Dyson should have done when he was asked (by a reporter) about the series with the Orioles ...... simply defer the question, and say something like, "We won tonight. All we are thinking about is winning Game Two, not thinking about Games Three, Four, Five, etc."
