Let's talk about the San Francisco Giants.

[Direckshun]

I know nothing about them.

[Why Not?]

Bumgarner on the road is every much a cyborg as our 3 guys. Buster Posey is a hoss. Fat Panda is good somehow. We have better bullpen( but theirs doesn't suck), better D and speed(obviously). Contrary to what you saw tonight, they do not hit HR. If the Royals play their style, it's a very winnable series. I say Royals in 6

Man, that Stefan is a hoss. He could kill a freshman with one stare down.

Buster Posey is a hoss. Great, great player.

A man's man then, I will have to inject the word 'hoss' in a conversation sometime soon.

Good pitching everywhere. Both teams.

That's because you don't watch baseball Dreck

David Ross thinks the Royals have the edge in starting pitching, the Giants everywhere else.

that seems.... very unlikely.

Sight unseen (I have not looked up their team stats yet), if someone wants to tell me that the Giants have the edge in starting pitching and offense, I'd probably agree that its likely.

But, you have got to give the bullpen, speed, and the defense to the Royals before the analysis even begins.

there is no way that the Giants have a better outfield defense.

I don't know exactly how good the Royals infield defense is although I remember escobar being amazing with the brewers with the glove, and I think I heard Moustakas won a gold glove. The giants don't have a gold glove on the infield.

Although as a whole they are very good, I don't think they match the royals.

I don't know of anywhere that the giants are flat out better than the Royals.

Not even starting rotation.

I think I might agree that you could have a deeper bullpen, though I haven't looked. I think our #4 and #5 options are at least respectable. Finnegan was HUGE for us in that crazy-ass wild card game, and Frasor was respectable.

Our 3-headed monster is widely heralded by now, but maybe your 4th and 5th-best relievers are better than ours, I dunno. In any case, your best chance is to chase our starter before 5 so that we are forced to dig deep in the pen.

I remember clearly that series in KC this year. I felt like the Royals were as complete a team we played this year outside of Washington.

That would be (at least for this series) Finnegan and Duffy. Not sure they are a deeper bullpen than us. I see Duffy being a slightly better version of Petit.
